What is recorded here
No tomb, not even a dead one, can keep its shape once people stop believing it. The chamber is a chamber only while chambers exist to be entered. Delete the chamber and the boy returns ordinary, remembering nothing, living twice under one name.
Within the church interior are two fragments of a Mensa tomb (1631) bearing a crucifixion scene surrounded by an inscription contained within a border.
