The Last Shall Be First, and The First Last:  How literate are you in the language of headstones? On this one, there is not much information, but enough to tie it into the sweep of world history. You may not recognize the national origin of the name Zandieh, but if you are logo-literate, you can figure it out. Just pay attention to the enneagram that attracts more attention than the name. It is a common symbol of the Baha'i faith in which 9 is considered "the sign of perfection." With that in mind, here is someone who may have fled the episodic persecution of Baha'is in their country of origin. What country would that be? Peace Church Cemetery. [2018]
