Zion Lutheran Church and Cemetery are near Horsham, Saskatchewan.
According to the Germans from Russia Heritage Society the church and cemetery were active from 1919 to 1950.
The sunflower motif on the tall white headstone symbolizes devotion to God. It's a symbol that isn't as common as one might imagine in a Christian cemetery.

A real pioneer cemetery.
ReplyDeleteI have been here once. Your photos do it justice.
ReplyDeleteThanks BW. This one is always worth a stop for a photo or two when in the neighbourhood.
DeleteWonderful old building - amazing that the cross is still there.
ReplyDeleteThe cross rotted and fell down many years ago. Sometime in the not too distant past a kind soul must have dragged it over to the church and propped it up.
