Pine Grove, Pennsylvania

The Lutheran Churchyard:  In the agrarian past, denominations (Baptists, Methodists, Lutherans, whatever) were united by their spatial form. Small churches along well-traveled country roads, often at intersections, gave birth to burial places right outside the sanctuary door. Here both church and churchyard survive, but sometimes the churches disappear while the churchyards go on forever. Jacobs Lutheran Church. [2017]
