Celebrate life....

Ever heard of a place called 'sapanta'....well...u r not alone...i read about it just a few mins back..

its a small village in the heart of Romania....there's a graveyard in the village...the local people call it 'a cemetary with a difference'...almost all of the graves are decorated by a local artist...and guess what these graves do not have the usual symbols of death...not they bear the usual 'hear lies so-and-so'....instead this artist uses his art to create some of the life these people lived on their grave...how they died...or..their profession...or their hobbies...just to tell u an example...there was this young person who was a tailor by profession...so his grave tells us how he used to spend his life.. ...i found it quite remarkable...its giving out a message...'respect the dead...& celebrate the life they had'.....
