After St. Catherine of Siena died, she was buried in Rome. The people of Siena wanted her body, but knowing they couldn't carry the whole thing they just took her head. When the smugglers were confronted by the Roman guard, the bag they were carrying her head in was full of flowers instead. When they got to Siena, her head was there again.
