Rest in peace

Rest in peace

At first please note that I'm not a member of any death-cult, satanist or any other group. This image has taken in a small zion in Hallstatt. The story is that because of the lack of free space in the town of Hallstatt for cemetery, a strange habbit came to live. Every body which buried in the cemetery was exhumed after ten years after death. Their bones collected and their skulls pained by a local man and got stored in the zion of the catholic church. Every citizen of Hallstatt may choose to take this habbit. The skull on the image belonged to the man who was the last who took. He died in 1983 and his skull is on the main place of the altar. It is a strange but interesting habbit but I'm sure we all know habbits which are as strange as this one but we never think about them because we live with them day by day.

Tell me what do you think about it!
