Summary

[edit]
Description In this seventeenth century church one finds a peculiar artifact – a death bed which was used by the Carmelite Friars to place their dead brothers to lay in state awaiting burial. This piece of funerary furniture is well preserved. In its four corners there are gilded candlesticks, at the head of the death-bed there is a statue of Our Lady Of Carmel while in front a skull is prominently seen. This was the last resting place before burial and obviously being Carmelites they would have the statue of Our Lady of Carmel to guide them to eternal happiness and the skull to remind the living that will be the end of everyone whether rich or poor. The Carmelite Church and Priory Mdina – MALTA.
