10 Cathedral Graves

1 sound

The grave stones here are a momento-mori reminding us of our mortality, but while the cathedral ruins invite us to take seriously the history of the site, the juxtaposition of the sea and the cemetery makes us think of death eschatologically. In Eschatology, death creates a real future and a real presence. The cemetery’s presence is a reminder that death remains in control of the penultimate fate. Death is a non-negotiable reality.
