Lying in the town of Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic，the Sedlec Ossuary(藏骨堂)never fails to inspire fear and fascination in first-time visitors．Usually, an ossuary is just a site where bones are kept，but this one is very different．It is an ossuary richly decorated with bones of mote than 40，000 human skeletons(骨架)，a strange fact that led to its nickname—the Bone Church．

The current location of the Sedlec Ossuary was originally a cemetery．In 1278，the headmaster of Sedlec paid a visit to the Holy Land，and on his return，he brought back a handful of earth from Golgotha，the area where Jesus is thought to have been crucified(钉在十字架上)．The headmaster spread the soil in the cemetery and word went around that the place was blessed．Soon，people from all over Europe wanted to be buried there．In the 15thcentury,the cemetery was nearly out of place，so to make room for newcomers，some of the older bones were removed from the cemetery and stored in an ossuary they built．At the time，however, the bones were merely piled up and not carefully arranged．

It was Frantisek Rint，a wood carver, who rearranged the burial site and transformed it into the magnificent Bone Church．In 1870，he cleaned up thousands of bones and carefully pieced them together in various shapes．The designs include two chalices，several candleholders，a noble family crest，a splendid chandelier, and much more．Equally astonishing are the six bell-shaped pyramids of bones in the four corners of the ossuary．Together, they express the short life of human beings．To this day, tourists can’t help but feel small after a visit to the Bone Church．

“Don't be a dreamer, be a dream DO-ER!”says Jordan Chancy，a full-time American poet．
