Wow, that’s a great fun fact lol

Fun fact: the signature brown and white garb of the Capuchins is where we got the name for cappuccinos (and Capuchin monkeys).

Thought of David Bowie when I saw this.

I love it

it's really hard to tell, but what are the circles? all vertebrae?

Yeah, It's just kinda weird to be told to be respectful towards the dead by the guy who's chopping grandmas corpse up, attaching her skull to her pelvis and sticking candles in her eye sockets.

Yes. It does. I have autism which is why I answered your question directly. The rest was you being emotional, and I can see that's still happening.

Looks like the westworld intro

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capuchin_Crypt more here.

The Crypt of the Capuchin is a wild place lol. All of the bones are from friars who lived there in the years leading up to its creation. They were buried in the sacred dirt and then they would run out of space, so they would remove bones so other friars could be buried in the sacred dirt post death. Thus lots of extra bones! There are varying stories about the friar who made the crypts, and his creative genius. It’s actually pretty impressive - he was talented that’s for sure. There are a number of rooms, such as “the room of the pelvis”.

The stewards of the Crypt insist it is not supposed to be macabre, but a representation of our mortality!

proof that gravity isn't real

Really liked the sign in there that said, "What you are now we once were, what we are now will become you.".

Don’t go giving these people ideas.

My grandma would be the best chandelier ngl

This looks lile a beach visited by hungry hungry seagulls.

I mean a tomb is a tomb regardless if you turn grandma into a chandelier

🤓

Edit: damn I made some people mad with this comment. I thought it was appropriate since the other comment pointing out that turning their skeletons into an arts and crafts project isn’t particularly respectful, was a pretty valid point. And it’s pretty silly to get all “UHM ACKTUALLY” about taking a picture of it for that reason.

But ok then I guess

As I remember, taking photos is strictly prohibited there.

I wonder if at any point the one of the guys doing this was like:

"Jean?"

"Yes, Louis?"

"This...this is kinda fucked up..."

"...meh, got do something with all these plague bodies..."

Lol, "Please show respect for these dead bodies that we turned into arts and craft projects and glued to the ceiling by not taking photos of what we did to them"
