Worcester, Massachusetts

Jesus is the Reason for the Season:  Cemeteries are woven together by narratives of death: not exactly in keeping with a holy day that celebrates the birth of everlasting life. That may be the reason why gravestones never feature the infant Jesus, and rarely the boy. There are exceptions, however. In Roman Catholic cemeteries you sometimes find the Holy Family and the pre-adolescent Savior. Notre Dame Cemetery. [2013]
