The non-decay of vampires' bodies could recall the incorruption of the bodies of the saints of the Catholic Church. A paragraph on vampires was included in the second edition (1749) of De servorum Dei beatificatione et sanctorum canonizatione, On the beatification of the servants of God and on canonization of the blessed, written by Prospero Lambertini (Pope Benedict XIV). In his opinion, while the incorruption of the bodies of saints was the effect of a divine intervention, all the phenomena attributed to vampires were purely natural or the fruit of "imagination, terror and fear". In other words, vampires did not exist.

Its freely flowing lines typify the wings of the Angels; hence it is called "the Angelic vestment." The folds of the Mantle are symbolical of the all-embracing power of God; and also of the strictness, piety and meekness of the monastic life; and that the hands and other members of a monk do not live, and are not fitted for worldly activity, but are all dead."Isabel F. Hapgood, Service Book of the Holy Orthodox-Catholic Apostolic Church, (Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese, 1975), p. xxxix. "[The mantle] is called 'the garment of incorruption and purity' [in the text of the Tonsure ceremony], and the absence of sleeves is to remind the monk that he is debarred from worldly pursuits.

Romanian colivă used in a religious ceremony in a Christian Orthodox church Orthodox Christians consider koliva to be the symbolic of death and resurrection, according to the words of the Gospel: > Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the ground > and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. () Wheat which is planted in the earth and rises in new life is symbolic of those beloved departed who have died in the hope of resurrection, in accordance with the words of Saint Paul: > So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is > raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory.

Before he was buried, Vianney's body was fitted with a wax mask.Cruz, Joan Carroll. The Incorruptibles: A Study of the Incorruption of the Bodies of Various Catholic Saints and Beati, TAN Books and Publishers, Inc, June 1977. On 3 October 1874 Pope Pius IX proclaimed him "venerable"; on 8 January 1905, Pope Pius X declared him Blessed and proposed him as a model to the parochial clergy. In 1925 John Mary Vianney was canonized by Pope Pius XI, who in 1929 made him patron saint of parish priests. In 1928 his feast day was inserted into the General Roman Calendar for celebration on 9 August. Pope John XXIII's 1960 revision, in which the Vigil of Saint Lawrence had a high rank, moved the feast to 8 August.

During this ceremony, the priest loosens the belt on the baptismal robe and prays: > "O Thou who, through holy Baptism, hast given unto Thy servant remission of > sins, and hast bestowed upon him (her) a life of regeneration: Do Thou, the > same Lord and Master, ever graciously illumine his (her) heart with the > light of Thy countenance. Maintain the shield of his (her) faith unassailed > by the enemy [i.e., Satan]. Preserve pure and unpolluted the garment of > incorruption wherewith Thou hast endued him (her), upholding inviolate in > him (her), by Thy grace, the seal of the Spirit, and showing mercy unto him > (her) and unto us, through the multitude of Thy mercies..." He then sprinkles the newly baptized with water and washes all of the places the chrism was applied, and performs the tonsure.

In the First Epistle to the Corinthians chapter 15, ἀνάστασις νεκρῶν is used for the resurrection of the dead. In verses 54–55, Paul the Apostle is conveyed as quoting from the Book of Hosea 13:14 where he speaks of the abolition of death. In the Pauline epistles of the New Testament, Paul the Apostle wrote that those who will be resurrected to eternal life will be resurrected with spiritual bodies, which are imperishable; the "flesh and blood" of natural, perishable bodies cannot inherit the kingdom of God, and, likewise, those that are corruptible will not receive incorruption (1 Corinthians 15:35–54). Even though Paul does not explicitly establish that immortality excludes physical bodies, some scholars understand that according to Paul, flesh is simply to play no part, as people are made immortal.
