Picture taken on February 23, 2008 of the mummified remains of two nuns lying together in a burial niche at the Mosteiro da Luz Catholic monastery in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The bodies were discovered in one of six burial niches bricked over in the 234-year-old 'Mosteiro da Luz', that continues to be the home of the reclusive Order of the Conceptionist Sisters as well as a Museum of Sacred Art. The bodies were found around three weeks ago, when work was done to combat an invasion of insects. The discovery was kept secret while excavation was carried out and the remains cleaned of debris.
