The remains dressed in royal clothes and filled with sparkling jewelry and gems are also called “Holy Eucharists”.
It is said that the 10 skeletons in the Basilica church are those of Christian martyrs. People excavated these skeletons from the catacombs in Rome between 1688 and 1765.
To commemorate the martyred monks in the church, people decided to dress them in splendid royal clothes and cover their bodies with many valuable jewelry and gems.
Experts say that these special remains wear royal costumes from the 18th century. They are decorated quite strangely in the main hall of the Basilica church.
When admiring the above remains, visitors will feel that the deceased seems to have belonged to a noble family.
Every year, the Basilica church holds a celebration to commemorate and express gratitude to the martyred monks.
Besides the above special skeletons, the Basilica church is also famous for its armless statue of Jesus Christ.
A soldier cut off the arm of a statue of Jesus. Since then, the armless Jesus statue has become a symbol of forgiveness and reconciliation.
Every year, many believers from all over come here to pray before this “armless” savior.
Basilica is also world famous as one of the largest churches built in the baroque architectural style.
