Five outstanding family headstones at Saint Michael the Archangel's Orthodox Cemetery near Sachava, Alberta.
Each freshly painted headstone has four pitch black crosses with a bronze-coloured plaque bearing the name of the loved one buried there.
And something I've never seen before...an insert of sculpted roses imbedded in a thick clear resin on each marker. Only babies, these precious family members have not been forgotten.

All five were babies? Wonder if it was the Spanish flu that was the cause or perhaps diphtheria.
ReplyDeleteYes, all five were babies.
