I went to a crypt in Britain as a kid, can't remember where tf it was, but I still remember it because it was super interesting.

It's where I learned about Trepanning and how they did it back in olden times to "let the bad spirits out" and it actually worked because it reduced swelling around the brain by giving the blood a way out.

capucin- prefix comes from the Latin for "hood," and by synecdoche means "monks" (who wear hoods)

Cafe Cappuccino has the same roots.

Yeah, that one is definitely a sight to see, if you can stand looking at dead people's bones.

Did you find any legendary gear?

In a helmet, suit and everything, holy shit.

Chances are, it isn’t. The early Catholic Church did a lot of this kind of thing, where they would claim to have a piece of the cross, or a bone of St Peter in a church. It was just to drive tourism into their churches. If you took all the claimed pieces of the cross and assembled them, it would make far more than one cross.

I like Martin Luther's polemic about relics: "How many pieces of the true cross are there in the world? How many thorns from Christ's crown of thorns? How many nails from the crucifixion? There are enough nails to shoe all the horses in Saxony. And if all the relics of the saints were gathered together, there would be enough bones to build a ship and enough wood to boil all the water in the sea."

In that sense it's one of Mary Magdalene's many heads.

That's one of the fundamental disagreements between Catholics and Protestants.

A Catholic would argue that veneration of saints isn't worship, it's showing respect for someone who exemplified Christian ideals, or died as a martyr. Canonization is basically the religious version of the Medal of Honor.

A Protestant would argue that the distinction between veneration and worship is arbitrary, and veneration of a saint essentially amounts to idolatry anyway.

Skulls for the skull throne...

Every single consecrated Catholic altar contains a relic of a saint. Usually they're pretty small, maybe a piece of a fingerbone or something. You're right that a good one like this would bring in lots of pilgrims (tourist dollars,) but it's a tradition that way predates capitalism.

I'm not in the business of defending the Catholic Church or capitalism, just wanted to clarify.

All the Abrahamic religions are death cults. It's just as morbid as muslim sects that force women to dress head to toe black robes or w/e. The extremism just becomes part of the scenery when you're around it, but it's all objectively bizzare.

Like think about it, these religions were literally invented by bronze age goat herds who thought the earth was flat and covered by a dome, and people in the modern day still believe in them. It's literally group insanity.

It would be like someone who still believes in the greek gods or something.

Religion is heavily intertwined with barbarism. The West/Christian countries have dumped more than their fair share on the world.

The whole point of religion was to keep the psychopaths in control. Sometimes you had to throw them a bone to keep them in line.

There's a lot of fantasy settings id like to live in but Warhammer is not one of them especially anything imperium related

Insert a 1 euro coin and the skull will sing your favorite hymn.

I don't know how Christians read the Old Testament and think anything other than "This is some evil shit."
