Dem bones, dem bones, dem ossuary bones

As you know, one of Father Orthoduck’s favorite authors is Pithless Thoughts. So, the humorous photograph to the right certainly had Father Orthoduck laughing. But, this brings up the opportunity for me to ask some trivia questions.

What is an ossuary?

How old is the practice of using an ossuary in Judeo-Christian circles?

Are ossuaries still used?

Can you point to a Biblical phrase that assumes the use of an ossuary?

Finally, the 1,000 point question. Can you point to the Scripture which relates the tale that what was contained in an ossuary brought someone back to life?
