When the friar returned from the Monastery of Jerusalem, he brought a container of soil of the Golgotha which is also called the Holy Soil. After this incident, people from every place of the world tempted to get obscured in Sedlec only. Hence, there was the formation of a cemetery that had to be lengthened. During the fifteenth centurial, a Gothic church was created besides the burial ground and the basement of the church was used as an ossuary. The bones of people were kept there for centurial and more. In the year 1870 a woodcarver Frantisek Rint, was given the task and was selected to put all the bones in sequence.
