One of the coolest places I've ever seen was the #SedlecOssuary ("Bone Church") in the #CzechRepublic. Prepare for spam.

Lovely Peeps, #Travel for me is restricted to my armchair at the moment - but I have no excuse to not still learn about this big, beautiful world of ours. 😊

Especially if a monk in #Venice in the mid-fifteenth century could do it well enough to create a #map of the world that *remains a reference for research to this day*. 😲

The Hill of Crosses is one of the coolest and eeriest places I've ever visited. Another one from a trip to #Lithuania for #ThrowbackThursday.

Located smack dab in the middle of fucking nowhere rises a mountain of crosses, crucifixes, effigies, rosaries, statues, and religious art. It is a Catholic pilgrimage site now but no one is exactly sure how it began.
