Think it's a mop? Might be an extra large torch. Unless of course the mop represents something else besides cleaning.

The type of grave with all the red flowers is a "cradle grave" - typically used for infants or stillbirths, so it's very kind to see that it is being maintained all these years later 💗

The grave you state is " is a lady with a mop " it's not a mop . She is holding a torch with a flame still burning even though it has fallen . Since Rebecca Sire raised money for families in the South after the civil war , I think torch still burning , even though it has fallen is representative of the south . They may have lost the war , but their spirit still is alive , I.e. the flame .

Cheer~~~a burial ground---a graveyard.

In Bellefontaine and Calvary's old embrace, Where time has left its weathered trace, There lies a realm of ancient grace, Where strange and eerie headstones pace. Among the shadows, tombs arise, Their secrets hidden 'neath dark skies, With marble faces and silent cries, They stand as sentinels, ancient and wise. Creepy and beautiful, their forms entwine, Inscribed with tales from a bygone time, Markers of souls now lost to rhyme, Yet their presence lingers, a spectral chime. Beneath the moon's ethereal glow, Whispers of the past gently flow, As grave robbers once dared to sow, Their greed in soil where spirits grow. But among the moss and ivy's vine, A sense of peace begins to shine, For though the living may decline, These old graves hold stories divine. So wander with us through the night, Where tombstones gleam in eerie light, In Bellefontaine and Calvary's sight, Where old cemetery graves ignite.

A simple trick to reading tombstones that are not legible is to rub all purpos flour over the area. Doesn't hurt anything and the rain will wash it away.

Hopefully, one day the headstones will be repaired. Thank you so much for your kind words. We are in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. Argentina is a beautiful country and we would love to visit some day. Best regards

You supposed to be reverently at cemetery!

My guess is that the "mop" is a torch that is lowered to symbolize her light has gone out. Cool channel content 👍

When we go back, I will certainly try to read more of the stones. It is a big place and we will be going back soon. Thanks for commenting and for watching

It would be great to clean up the old stones

I agree

Is there a reason why you blurred out the headstone wording on the downcast angel standing on her tiptoes that you described as making you want to cry? I see you rarely focus long on the sentiments (unfortunately) but am really curious on this specific one

The symbol on the grave headstone of X AND P is The Chi-Rho symbol, is an anagram - a combination - of the first two letters of Christ in Greek, the Chi (our CH) and the Rho (our R). The Chi looks like an X and the Rho looks like a P. In the time of the Roman Empire and in medieval Europe, these two Greek letters written together stood for Christianity, the way the New York Mets’ logo has the N and the Y on top of each other. So the Chi-Rho is like a logo for Christianity.

Yes they are beautiful and these are stories for future generations. Thanks for watching

All cemeteries should be cared for. A person's final resting place. At least that is what one thinks .The law needs to protect those who can no longer protect themselvesn

I agree with you. So many are being neglected or filled over for new construction. It's horrible how many headstones end up dumped in rivers. Thanks for watching and sharing your comment.

I've seen people buried with their feet at the headstone

Hi and thanks for watching. We did read some of the names but there are way too many to read them all. Some of the headstones we videoed so you could read them. If you are looking for someone specific in this cemetery, you can go to their website or findagrave.com and search for the name you are looking for. I hope this helps.

Not yet, but we have been planning to go. We hope to go soon. I hear it is beautiful! Thanks for the suggestion. Stay jagged and see you at the next video 😊

That is not a mop. It is an inverted torch. It is a common cemetery symbol. A lit torch signifies immortality. An inverted torch symbolizes the passing of the soul to the next life.

I like a walk around a good graveyard. Just having a gloat.
