The whole thing started in 13th century, when there was this Ebert Henry who created chaos in Bohemia. He brought a handful of soil from Jerusalem. He then sprinkled it over a piece of land around the present day Ossuary, and that made that piece of land the holiest and the most desirable burial place all across Bohemia. But as expected, that little area was not enough for burying Bohemia. So after about 30,000 burials, they exhumed the bodies and housed them in a crypt to make way for newer inmates
Hey, Ajay, I really appreciate this post. The macabre nature of the church made me reflect on the broader themes of mortality and the frailty of human experience. And I was totally fascinated by how the church has transitioned from what used to be a burial place to a tourist attraction, and a really popular one at that

I'm glad that you saw so many different layers in the Bone Church podcast of mine because yes, although one talks about one or two facets of a place, the layers that it actually has are lot many more than that. And seeing that, I realized that listener has to be really discerning and that you are. So I hope you enjoy my later podcasts also. In fact, I'm going to be putting up one today
