Church decorated in bones????

"Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction" A small town called Sedlec lies about 70kms east of Prague. There lies the Boney Church and don't undermine these bones, they are real human bones.

A little history: back in 1218, a man made a pilgramage to the holy land and brought back a jar of soil from the cemetary which he spread over the church. The church was then regarded as more sacred and turned into a popular burial spot. 100 years later, more than 30,000 bodies were buried there. 200 years after that, it was necessary to remove the older bones to make place for the new ones.

These later became the material for the macabre creations. Much later, a local woodcarver was hired to decorate the inside of the church with the human remains (approximately40,000 sets of human bones). The pics gave me the creeps. I can't imagine how one can worship in such a church, it's disturbing.
