Bone Church, Kutna Hora



The Cemetery of the Capuchins in The Marble Faun reminded me of the Bone Church in Kutna Hora, Czech Republic that I visited when in Prague. During the Plague, there were too many bodies to bury in the cemetery surrounding this church, and so the priest there took the old bodies out and decorated his church with their bones. This is a chandelier he made.
