      It was on Hairy Bikers when they were touring Europe a couple of years ago.

      Apparently the ambition of the Monks there is to join their brethren at the end of their days - ambitious arn't they!

        "As I remember it, a friar returned from the Holy Land in the 14th Century and brought with him a handful of earth which he sprinkled over the ancient cemetery."

        Blimey, this bloke must be knocking on a bit! :D

        All that Knights Templar & Fountain of Eternal Youth stuff must be true then. Make a great film.

        Been there! Well worth seeing, very memorable, the overall effect is really quite jolly.

        I'm very keen on cadaver related tourism, from the dried crypt bodies in St Michan's Church, Dublin
        St. Michan's Church, Dublin - Things to Do - VirtualTourist

        to the Stefansdom in Vienna.

        I always thought I was bit weird, looks like I'm not the only one.
