What is the name of the church built by the remains?
This church is also known as Maria Melfa-Kirsh Church, commonly known as "Bone Church". It was built between 1280 and 1320, and between 1699 and 1707. It was built by architects Paul ignaz Baer and Giovanni Santigny on the basis of the original Cistercian monastery. The church is famous for the scattered location of the Holy Sepulchre in the local area, which has attracted many believers from Bohemia and abroad to make pilgrimages. During the Great Plague, due to the limitation of the number of cemeteries, many dead people could not be buried, so around 15 10 years ago, churches began to decorate with the bones of the dead. The remains of about 40,000 people were used for the interior decoration of the church.
Bone church
1369, a plague claimed 30,000 lives and bones were everywhere, so the church authorities decided to decorate the church with unburied bones. Theologians say that Catholicism regards death as a sacred thing and presents the body to God after death as a symbol of supreme praise, so "human bone ornaments" are not too strange. This church is usually heavily guarded and closed to the public. Only on June 30th 165438+ every year (equivalent to the Ghost Festival in China) are ordinary people allowed to pray (but some people say it is only open to the public on Sundays). There is a terrible "human bone prayer hall" in the west hall of the church. The light inside is dim, and the walls are made entirely of human bones. At first glance, you can only see countless leg bones, arms and ribs, especially the two black holes on the skull. Staring straight will give you the creeps and chill your back. Many of my friends and I have taken photos here. Strangely, whether the camera has the function of preventing "red eye" or not, everyone's eyes are red in the developed photos. Some people say that it may be a "ghost fire", which is unknown. Ask the tour guide, why did the royal family pile a lot of human bones here in the first place? I answered in fear all day, one is to pray for the victims in the face of human bones, which is more pious; Second, I hope that future generations will understand that war is ruthless and we must never go to war.

The ceiling and walls here are covered with decorations made of human bones. According to statistics, about10,000 corpses were used for these decorations.
