It was actually socially acceptable and even an honor to have your body memorialized like this. You know, Jesus freaks

Yeah reduce this beautiful and haunting memorial to death as “arts and crafts.” Some people do not get art or other cultures

You’re right, lots of boring, small minded midwesterners here… death is a universally shared concept, is it really so strange to think that people of different cultures and time periods have different ways of respecting it?
