Kostnica: the Bone Church
Tuesday, January 16, 2007 - 02:34:37 GMT - Matt
This church is in a town just outside of Prague. The ornaments you see are
made of actuall human skeletons. Because of the plague and famine in the
16th century and the Husssite war that followed it, there were remains of
over 40,000 dead piled up outside the church. In the 19th century, a
carpenter decided to decorate the inside of the church using these remains.
