Instead of being buried and hidden underground, some were made part of the Ossuary's building as a reminder of life's impermanence. Here are some text from the chapel's guide: "It is guessed that the Ossuary is a common grave of about 40,000 people. This work reminds us of the fact and the worth of eternity. God has concluded a covenant that put us under an obligation to responsibility towards God and our neighbours. The observance of the covenant will be appreciated when we die." "The bones represent the multitudes that none can count facing God's throne." "...all the bones were disinfected and whitewashed." "...the chandelier is made up of all kinds of bones that can be found in the human body." You can also read more about the Ossuary in my travel blog: http://happysteps.net/2008/08/08/cemetery-chapel-with-ossuary-at-kutna-hora/ Hi all, thanks for your comments…those bones were from the many thousands of people who died from an epidemic.
