Fun fact! Saint Valentine was beheaded, and here is a photo of his supposed skull! (which is kept in a reliquary in rome because catholics are freaky that way)

I see a reference to the Sedlic Ossuary, love the decor in that place.

this is a church that supposedly had holy ground or something that let people rot really fast, Idk what that’s about, but people really wanted to get buried there, and so they had overflow of dead people. so they exhumed old bodies and stored the bones in the church, before someone eventually said ‘hey, this would make a cool fucking chandelier.’ and then they started using the bones to decorate. this continued for several generations.

[cuisses-de-tonnerre]

the ground at the Sedlec Ossuary at Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic was "holy" because a Monk in the late 13th century went to the holy land and brought back a bucket of dirt from Golgotha and scattered it over the graveyard there. idk about rotting fast, never heard about that, but yeah.... word got around and it became Central Europe's destination burial spot. Everyone wanted their bones and their moms bones and there uncle's bone etc buried there, which because of the plague and the Hussite Wars, meant LOTS of ppl were hauling their relative's bone to central Bohemia, upwards of 40,000.

Transporting a whole ass body back then was expensive and so most ppl would only bring a femur or a skull, Hence the big ass hut looking thing behind the crest pictured above. That's nothing but femur on top of femur on top of femur with some skulls added in for spice. And they have 4 FOUR of those suckers iirc.

here's a look inside of one

The Chapel wasn't built until over 100 years later and the bones exhumed at the time of construction and stored inside because.... well what else were they gonna do with them. It was only about 150 years ago that the piles of bones got fancy tho. the family whose crest is depicted above paid some woodcarver to make the sculptures and bone mounds because rich Czech ppl in the 19th century were gothic af.

when I was there in 2016 they were in the process of trying to fix the Chapel, because the foundation was sinking or something idr, point was there was an issue with the foundation. This was problematic because the bone huts and really all the other bone sculptures were so fragile that if they tried to move them they would have crumbled completely. Also even tho there were tons of bones inside the ossuary there were still and incredible amount of bones still buried in the graveyard outside.

Any and all construction was very slow going. Cause as you can see

you couldn't go a meter

without hitting a bone.

I believe they closed for a while the following year and are back open again, but I don't want to think about what they had to do to make sure the bones didn't just turn to dust during construction.

But yeah,one of the wildest places I've ever been. Now I just need to visit the Czech hell hole and I will have seen everything I want to see while living here.

Concept: the ghosts come alive at night to argue & move their bones to more desirable real estate. The bone chandelier never contains the same femurs twice

MY CAT IS GOING TO DIE IN 72 HOURS IF I CAN NOT PAY A VET

My wife and Is cat Yevgeny (Siamese on the left in the second pic) has been unable to urinate all day. He is howling and crying out in pain. Online and the vet ER says he HAS to be taken in or HE WILL DIE within a few days.

I cant handle this. All I want to do is to save him but I can not afford what the vet said is 140 consultation and then 75 percent of whatever the cost is which can be upwards of a few grand. Please I am begging anyone to help me take him in I would do anything. I have called every resource and I do not have anything. I am denied for care credit and scratch pay. PLEASE he is only 3 years old. Please boost this. I cant lose my baby. I've been sobbing all day hes in so much pain. I would do anything.

My cashapp is $micahsage

My venmo is @sicknng

My paypal is [email protected]

If anyone wanted to pay the vet directly that's also an option. I have never been so scared in my life please help him

[ufoend]

I have the 140 now so I'm taking him to the ER and will let you know the price.

[ufoend]

He is admitted and checking vitals. Any payment will go directly towards his treatment. I will update with that amount as soon as I can but please boost and send to anyone you know.

He just got a new nickname, Salami. We were just having happy moments together. I want him to be okay.

[ufoend]

600 to 800 WOULD GET HIM TREATED PLEASE BOOST

[ufoend]

Hes home now they drained him to get him through the night and gave him a methadone shot but they said he WILL die if I dont get him in by tomorrow. They gave me an estimate, I have 500 out of the 800 if I get 300 more I can take him in here is a picture of him right now. Will post discharge information soon.

[ufoend]

So he is being seen but they said he has a murmur that may be temporary but they dont know. Hes staying overnight so anything anyone sends will go towards him seeing the vet and getting treatment in the morning and if they tack on charges so please boost.

[ufoend]

They called saying he may need surgery so please boost (feb 12th 12:21 AM) Hes still in ER.
