In the 17th-19th centuries, professionals were called in to eat your sins after you died. For today’s equivalent of a few dollars, the Sin Eater, usually a very poor man, would eat bread that had ‘soaked up the sins’ of the dead to purify them for Heaven. Though Sin Eaters were considered entirely necessary by the religious, they were also looked upon as evil infidels who consumed others’ sins for money.
