Real Story

By TheNaethPublished about a year ago 3 min read

It was when Henry, the Cistercian Abbot, was sent to the Holy Land in Palestina that everything got started there. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, which is the location where Jesus was crucified at Golgotha, was the location where he carried back a jar of dirt there. After his return, he covered the cemetery with the soil and left it there. In a short amount of time, the word of his behavior spread all over the area, and as a result, Sedlak became a popular location for burial.

It was also possible for certain individuals to bring their deceased relatives to be laid to rest on the holy soil of Sedlak. Across a short period of time, the plague was responsible for the deaths of a great number of people across Europe and a great number of those who had survived the disease travelled to Sedlak.

Many individuals were laid to rest at the Sedlec Ashery in a short period of time, which led to the conception of the idea of establishing an auxiliary. And ossuary was constructed by a monk who was partially blind and he was the one who organized the bones. Nevertheless, the bones were organized in an artistic manner, as they are now, which is more than 300 years later. One of the local wood carvers, Frantisek Rint, was given the responsibility of adorning the church with the bones. In the year 1870. On top of that, the incredible outcome speaks for itself. The location is now often referred to as the Church of Bones, and it is now home to the arrangement of 40,000 human remains.

A Czech filmmaker named John Svankmajer created a documentary on the ossuary in 1970, which was 10 minutes long. This was 100 years after Rint had adorned the ossuary.
