Churchyards and tomb-stones

During summer and autumn 2024 I spent some time walking at churchyards in our vicinity, it gave me a feeling of calm but also melanchouly.  I noticed the great difference between old and new tomb-stones.  With great interest I also took note of the way people decorated tomb-stones with figures, mainly of angels and birdes.  Some tomb-stones also had text of different kind, even someone I nearly felt shocking and offending, as an example "Glorious Calvary, Jesus will soon come" placed on a huge stone cross. ​​​​​​​
