In Kandy, Sri Lanka, worshippers gather to pay homage to the tooth relic while Buddhist processions honor their spiritual traditions. Thomas Hardy's heart finds its resting place in a burial that echoes his poetic soul. Batgers Christmas crackers box label reminds us that even in joyous celebrations, thoughts of mortality linger. An Italian still life painting captures the beauty and fragility of life within a jewel casket adorned with precious treasures.
