Italian Crypt with the Skeletons of 3,700 Capuchin Friars

The Capuchin Crypt, located beneath the Church of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini in Rome, Italy, is a burial chamber adorned with the skeletal remains of around 3,700 Capuchin friars. Constructed in the 17th century, the crypt features intricate and macabre displays of bones arranged in various decorative patterns, including chandeliers made of bones and entire skeletal figures dressed in monk's robes. The crypt serves as a contemplative space and a reminder of the transient nature of life. Visitors can explore the chambers, witnessing the unique and somber artwork created from the remains of the deceased friars.

It just goes to show you how hypocritical the church is, and this is a disgrace. Using dead bodies to make ornaments out of dead peoples bones. SHAMEFUL
