Xaghra Parish » Gallery » 2014 » 02 NOV 2014 - CEMETERY BEHIND CHAPEL

We remembered them in November, let us not forget them until we follow them. This section is the oldest in the cemetery of Xaghra, Originally all graves were behind the Chapel. The room, seen at the back, was where the corpse used to be kept for burial until after 24 hours of death happening. The grave digger used to watch over the dead body. A handful of graves were owned privately, the rest were common.
