The ash eternal, ever stands it green
Hence come the dews
Hence come the maidens - much knowing
Laws they established And on the tablet they engraved, destinies pronounced
And life alloted to the sons of men
Hence come the maidens
And among them, most beautiful of all, Iria of Aegård
Wolves she tamed, magic arts she knew
And even the gods remember her song
And men drank mead each morn'
From Allfather's pledge
And had the maidens drink as well
And war came
And with her famine and men and women laid dead And the gods held council
What had made Odin and Tyr cast their spears?
For now oaths are not held sacred
Nor words, nor swearing, nor binding pact made And there in high sat joyous Iria
Iria of Aegård, striking her harp
Northward turned far from the sun
She there saw waiting the sluggish streams of bloodthirsty men, and purgerers and wolves
She saw axe age turn wolf age
Here the world sinks
And she saw arise, a second time, earth from ocean Beauteously green, and rivers meeting on plains
Unter uns die erlesene Schar
In ihrem eigenen innersten Kreis
Unter dem Staub der Arenen
Zitternder wiegender Gewalten
Klöster ner neuen Heiligen
In deren Augen die Strömung noch funkelt In deren Herzen die Flutung beginnt
Es rätseln die alten Tiefgelehrten
Es bangt die stille jugend
Man fliegt vor einem geheimen Wort
Das ganze verkehrte Leben, fort

Capela Dos Ossos • The Chapel of Bones
The Capela dos Ossos, or Chapel of Bones, was built in the 16th century by Franciscan monks who were concerned about the growing number of cemeteries taking up valuable land in the city.
The chapel is decorated with the bones of over 5,000 people whose graves were exhumed from the city's cemeteries. The bones are stacked along the walls and used to create decorative patterns on the ceiling and around the columns. The vaulted ceilings are also painted with frescoes that depict death scenes from the Bible, skulls, and other symbols of death.
