The Cemetery as an Aviary: The vivid red color of the cardinal matches the color worn by cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church. Their color marks them as high-ranking birds, if for no other reason than they really do attract attention (especially in the winter). And, don't forget: The cardinal is the state bird of seven American states. In cemetery art, the cardinal is often used as a symbol of truth, beauty, and power. Now, wouldn't you like to know the story behind the 'name train' on this headstone? Bethlehem Baptist Church Cemetery. [2013]
