Easter Symbolism From The Big Easy

About a month ago I had a wonderful trip with the Bowling Green State University Men's Chorus where we toured all the way down to New Orleans. Amidst the food, sight seeing, and other fun I took some time with two other members and visited one of the famous above ground crypt cemeteries. This particular one came the St. Louis Cemetery #2. As I explored the cemetery I found that like snowflakes, no two crypts were the same. I found one and fell in love with the subject. the crypt with sinking into the ground, crumbling and broken. It even looked like it had been broken from the inside (little creepy) but I took several photos and noticed the cross on the broken piece leaning up beside it. I immediately thought of the easter story and even sent it to my pastor to share with my church back home in Cincinnati. I appropriately captioned the photo with Matthew 28: 2 Matthew 28: 2 "And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it."
