Santini adorned the columns with decorative, carved, wooden and metallic elements to contrast the rich tones of the marble. There are detailed baroque-styled candleholders, each holding a skull & bones, that rise up along the whole column height. . 💀Turn on post notifications, click link in BIO to follow along on our journey, and sign up on our mailing list at: ☩ sedlecossuary.mechanicalwhispers.com ☩ . 🌟 Lots more exciting announcements to come! . #SedlecOssuaryProject #KutnaHora #skulls #creepy #UNESCO #Sedlec #SedlecOssuary #ossuary #kostnice #Prague #CzechRepublic #Czechia #churchofbones #skeleton #humanbones #mementomori #bones #macabre #death #dark #morbid #unusual #church #historical #architecture #historicpreservation #landmark #explore #travel #MechanicalWhispers @Mechanical_Whispers_Art @VodaZNY @UNESCO

Understanding the symbols on old gravestones gives greater insight into the past, be it a drawing, word, or symbolical representation. It’s a story, a message, and emotions carved in stone. We would like to share just a small portion of the fascinating, but simple, symbols of birth and death to help in translation. * born † died (*) born out of wedlock †* stillborn *† died on birthday ≈ baptized o engaged ⚭ married ⚮ divorced ⚯ unmarried ⚔ killed in action ⚰ buried ⚱ cremated You will find many old gravestones around the Ossuary, and a few plaques inside to read. . 💀Turn on post notifications, click link in BIO to follow along on our journey, and sign up on our mailing list at: ☩ sedlecossuary.mechanicalwhispers.com ☩ . 🌟 Lots more exciting announcements to come! . . . . . #SedlecOssuaryProject #SedlecOssuary #Sedlec #bonechurch #KutnaHora #skulls #UNESCO #creepy #ossuary #Prague #CzechRepublic #Czechia #macabre #death #morbid #unusual #explore #travel #kostnice #churchofbones #skeleton #humanbones #mementomori #bones #church #historical #architecture #historicpreservation #landmark #MechanicalWhispers @Mechanical_Whispers_Art @VodaZNY @UNESCO @visitkutnahora @visitczech

Is there a significance to the fact that these columns are three-sided? Since many of the remains belonged to plague victims, it is possible that Santini's vision was a tribute to “plague columns”, that are found all over Europe. These columns represent thanks to God for ending the plague epidemic, and the 3 sides would symbolize the Holy Trinity. . 💀Turn on post notifications, click link in BIO to follow along on our journey, and sign up on our mailing list at: ☩ sedlecossuary.mechanicalwhispers.com ☩ . 🌟 Lots more exciting announcements to come! . #SedlecOssuaryProject #KutnaHora #skulls #creepy #UNESCO #explore #travel #macabre #death #dark #morbid #unusual #Prague #CzechRepublic #Czechia #church #historical #architecture #historicpreservation #landmark #churchofbones #skeleton #humanbones #mementomori #bones #Sedlec #SedlecOssuary #ossuary #kostnice #MechanicalWhispers @Mechanical_Whispers_Art @VodaZNY @UNESCO
