壹苹派生活美语　塞德莱茨藏骨堂的暗黑之美

　　In the suburbs of Kutná Hora, Czech Republic, stands a church built in the 15th century. Although it looks ordinary from the outside, its interior will likely chill you to the bone. In 1278, a king sent the abbot of a monastery to Jerusalem. He returned with some soil from the Holy Land and sprinkled it in the monastery’s cemetery. This made it a popular resting place for people across Central Europe. Following the Black Death and several wars, the cemetery ran out of space to bury more bodies.

　　在捷克共和国库特纳霍拉的郊区，矗立著一座建于十五世纪的教堂。虽然外观看起来很普通，但它的内部可能会让你感到毛骨悚然。1278 年，一名国王派遣一座修道院的院长前往耶路撒冷。他从圣地带回一些泥土并撒在修道院的墓园里。这使其成为中欧各地人们之间热门的长眠之处。经历黑死病和几次战争之后，墓园已经没有足够的空间埋葬更多的尸体。
