- Abstract:
The article reports on the artistic and theological significance of bone chapels, particularly the Capuchin Crypt in Rome, where the remains of monks are arranged in intricate designs that challenge traditional views of death. Topics include the transformation of death into art, the relationship between the body and resurrection in Christian theology, and various global examples of ossuaries as sacred spaces.
