What did he say before the Christian reconquering? I didn't understand this word, could anyone explain it please for me? That would be nice. Anyways, it seems to be a very beautiful place.

Im desapointed! because I already visit Évora... and I never visit the chapel of bones!

[nanadosantos]

Just to say that I live in Évora and i've visited this chapel countless times even though i'm not christian and i realy, realy liked the video I liked how you turned the matter of death, which is very present in this chapel and scares most of the people, into hope with the help of those sentences written in the wall. I'm kind of sad because you did't visit our Cathedral, a Sé de Évora which is very beautiful and has many many reliqs. If you ever come here again please let me know.

fabulous intresting bit was chapel of bones

I still am not sure if I like the idea of a chapel being made out of bones, but it is cool that Christ has overcome death and if any of the bones believe in him they will one day live again.

Best video so far, I like how Christianity can shed light on the darkness, the skulls made the chapel look like a place for pagans, but Jesus Christ on the cross put a whole new meaning on it that was no longer dark or scary. Knowing Jesus make horror movies a lot less suspenseful and mostly
