It is very fitting to have these sculptures as the most dominant part of the entrance decor, since chalices are considered among the most sacred of church vessels.

It is believed that the chalices were created by architect Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel during his renovations of the early 1700's. Perhaps he created these symbols out of bone, and gave them such a prominent place in the entrance, as a special blessing and memorial to those who are interred here. . 💀 Mailing list, art prints, and more! 💀 ☩ sedlecossuary.mechanicalwhispers.com ☩ ☩ Or through link in bio. ☝️ ☩ . . . . . .

The word "chalice" comes from Latin "Calix", meaning "mug", and from Greek κύλιξ (kulix), meaning "cup". In religious practice, a chalice is often used for drinking during a ceremony and carries symbolic meaning. . 💀 Mailing list, art prints, and more! 💀 ☩ sedlecossuary.mechanicalwhispers.com ☩ ☩ Or through link in bio. ☝️ ☩ . . . . . .
