A Church! Made of PEOPLE!

Only in Eastern Europe...

It's a strange feeling, being surrounded by thousands of skeletons. It was beautiful, in a gross, creepy kind of way. So the room filled with uncomfortable laughter, the flash of two dozen cameras taking pictures of gaggles of girls smiling before the giant human chandelier. Do you smile? It's a weird thought, smiling at mortality like that.
