Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hobbes" data-source="post: 1912212" data-attributes="member: 3371">One of the themes in the video was about the common Christian beliefs before the war about dying and the sanctity of the body after death and how those beliefs were changed by the war.Mangled and missing bodies of loved sons and husbands required a profound change in those beliefs and customs that we still see today.Before the war enbalming was rare.During the war, enbalming became necessary in order to return loved ones home for burial and after the war we never stopped enbalming.</blockquote>
