Content blog 6: The Ossuary of Kutna Hora. Creepy/sublime
The ossuary of Kutna Hora was the most fascinating church I have ever seen. For those who don't know, the ossuary is a bone church located in Prague. The church looks like any regular church on the outside, but on the inside it is creepy. There are skulls and human bones from about 40,000 people arranged around the church. People may be thinking this is creepy, and it is. There was a monk who wanted to add on to the church but needed more space. But there were huge graves that needed to be uprooted to make room. The monk thought to dig up the graves and use the bones for the church. The bodies were of people unknown from the plague and war. So you may think why did the monk do this? I think it is possible that he was doing this to honor them and to show their respects.
