Treasure at the Catholic Cemetery

Nope, there is no digging for treasure at the Catholic Cemetery. I was there last Monday. There was not much people at the place, considering that it was Monday afternoon - the day and time when the local priest says mass for the departed.

Anyway, while waiting for my companion I went to the chapel and the history buff in me took a close look at what many of us took for granted or simply ignored - the arch at the main entrance.

So what about it? It is made of bricks and on the center it indicates the numbers "1885". It should be the year the gate or arch was constructed and in a way gives us an idea as to when the cemetery was opened. If the year indicated is accurate, the cemetery or at least the arch is 123 years old. How about that?

Well, considering its age, saying that the cemetery is overcrowded (with dead people, of course) is an understatement.
