I think it rather depends on the saint. Well, rather, it requires a different way of looking at things. Frex, I think that St. Denis would likely appear alive, but headless (I think headless). Barnabas (is it Barnabas?) would likely be messy (if he's the one who was flayed), but again, alive. I think that Ste. Foi definitely appears alive and in her childish form, when she asks the monks to steal her relics. But then, Jesus appears alive and is clearly corporeal in order for Thomas to stick his hand in that gaping wound in his side...

Which makes one wonder -- would St. Laurence also smell like roasting meat?

Perhaps there's a line between animate and alive that should be explored?

Most of the legends I've heard about St Lawrence suggest he had a somewaht zany sense of humour, so - you never know.
