Holy

This small, square room may have been used for viewings by family members, given the cross painted on the wall and decorative lamp hanging from the ceiling.

Looks like a drain to me, too, LucieLou. Why would they have a drain in a viewing room?

Why is there a drain on the floor? Could there have been a sacrificial alter in here once?

I am surprised it is just a cross and not a crucifix; in Italy everywhere I stayed there were crucifixes...

Lpn, no the little building was actually raised above ground, so you had go up 3-4 steps (a ramp was provided for the deceased). I'd imagine all the plumbing was fitted in a crawlspace-like basement above the ground.

The soap dispenser hanging directly above the drain is quite decorative.

Creepy and beautiful at the same time.....I love the shadows in this shot, too.

The soap dispenser is also a nice touch :)

Going by the lack of poo, the goats don't seem to like this room very much.

Motts..I think it was really considerate of them to put in a ramp for the deceased...you know how hard it is to walk up steps when you are ... oh, just a little dead. :D

Just playing around!

This room really creeps me out for some reason! WTH I think of the movie "The Exorsist" or even "Psycho" ... *shiver* Someone hold me?

I guess people in that country cry so much in mourning that they need that drain.

Those goats don't hold anything sacred. Let's bow our heads and spray...

I think it is a drain. It has the right shape. Is it me or is the lighting in this room really weird? It looks like the window is near the floor.
