In the Czech town of Kutná Hora stands one of the most unsettling and misunderstood religious sites in the world: the Sedlec Ossuary — often called the Bone Chapel.
This Catholic church is decorated with the bones of tens of thousands of people. Skulls line the walls. A chandelier made entirely of human remains hangs from the ceiling. For many modern visitors, the chapel feels morbid, even disturbing. But for the Christians who created it, this space was never meant to shock — it was meant to teach.
In this episode of Unseen Witness, we explore what the Sedlec Ossuary reminds us about death, faith, and the Christian understanding of mortality. Through history, theology, and symbolism, we examine why medieval Catholics did not hide death, but placed it directly in view as a reminder of humility, repentance, and the hope of resurrection.
This is not a horror story or ghost tale. It is a meditation on memento mori — remember that you must die — and what that truth meant to believers centuries ago, and what it may still mean today.
