Religious symbolism is one of the most common sets of symbols found in a cemetery. Angels, anchors, crosses, books, and even Bible verses in pictorial form. Please take a look at our recently added page with religious symbolism images. A few highlights can be found below:
This Celtic cross has the symbols Alpha/Omega which means the beginning and the end. At the top a disguised IHS, and the P with an X at the bottom is the Chi Rho cross.
Anchors are the Christian symbol for hope and steadfastness and may also symbolize a mariner. A cross with an anchor and heart symbolizes faith, hope and charity.
Depiction of the Bible verse Ecclesiastes 12.6-7 which includes a wheel with a broken cord, a broken pitcher, a shattered bowl and water representing the well or spring.
