Rest In Peace


Roman Catholic cemeteries are different in Slovakia and Poland. The headstones are quite large and families bring flowers, oil lamps, plant gardens on top of grave yard, and leave liquor and gifts.

At this cemetery a historic church stands. A testimony to the several hundred years of Christian community and its saints.  A new sanctuary has been built in town, but on the hill, diligently cared for is this wooden kirche.

Enjoy the photographs of the headstones. I've provided several different styles.
