Upon entering the Abbey, one encounters columbaria with glass-front niches just outside the chapel. The chapel itself is captivating, resting as it does beneath an expansive arch of stained glass which admits the soft glow of natural, filtered light. Edgar Miller's beautiful art glass "Lady of Eternity" keeps watch over her domain from her place behind the marble altar. Lining the nave of the chapel are large stone pillars beyond which lie numerous interment chambers, each comprising ten burial vaults. The remainder of the Abbey features red-carpeted marble hallways flanked on each side by gated crypt rooms, our favourite of which is that belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Otto Pelikan. Inside, a bare-breasted marble faerie stands delicately before colourful stained glass windows, her raised left hand posed to open a small urn. One either side of her rest the ornate tombs of Ruth Lila and Otto Pelikan. Above them, etched letters gilt in gold proclaim "Seventh Heaven." Though parts of the Abbey are splendidly kept, others seem to be under repair. https://www.bellamorte.net/hillside-i... THIS CHANNEL: _________________________________________________________ The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead. IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN... This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names. Most graves are unknown and lost to history. Some are famous. And some infamous.... ....and some with tragic endings. #Graves #Cemeteries #Death
