🕊 Ossuaries

I read about ossuaries in a book titles, "The Weird Catholic Handbook" before that I had never heard of em. They are basically little shrines decorated with bones of the dead. (I know, it sounds pretty creepy or weird) It is also a way to practice the devotion of Memento Mori - Remember your death. It makes more room in the cemeteries if they are out of space. I am sure there are other reasons as well. They are pretty common in Europe. This picture I drew was a photo based on a crypt in Rome.
