What is the story behind the bone chandelier?

There are churches and cathedrals all over Europe with ossuary construction. This one was the result of a chapel being built in a cemetery that was used for plague victims. The graves were unearthed during construction of the chapel, and the bones were used in decorating much of the chapel.

We've got a big graveyard out back, and I'm out of metal, so how about we just dig up the bodies and make the rest of our stuff out of dead people?"  Not the first idea I would have come up with. The croc skull is cool, but using human parts, and so many of them... makes it look like some kind of death cult, or maybe a serial killer hideout.

Only so much your remains can do once your metabolic processes permanently cease. They can sit in the ground, be burnt to ash, or used to make kickass decor. I want my skeletal remains adorning some fucking hardcore metal piece like that chandelier! Fuck that rotting-in-the-ground bullshit, MAKE ME INTO A FUCKING CHANDELIER! Where the hell do I sign up?!

How would anyone think that Christianity is a death cult. Absurd!

Now, we people from the South of Italy come off as weirdly religious at times.
This is a place where paganism never left. It just acquired three new deities and a bunch of funny hats. This here is the "Fontanelle" cemetery of Naples:  People come here and "adopt" skulls, praying to them to have their wishes fulfilled. Every day, they go to their "capuzzella" (Neapolitan for "little head"), they clean it, they talk to it, maybe build it a nice little case... In fact, you can see that some skulls are actually placed in cases with inscriptions like "Per grazia ricevuta" ("For having received a favour").
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped. Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses. Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder. Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids." |
