Event Details
Have you ever wandered through a cemetery and wondered about the motifs and symbols carved into them? Join Elise M. Ciregna, Ph.D., as she presents a talk on American gravestones and symbolism over the past 400 years. Symbolism on American gravestones can tell us a lot about attitudes towards death, religious belief, contemporary thought, social and popular culture, literature and artistic endeavor, and many other areas of interest. We will look at some of the most common themes and how to interpret the symbols and motifs on gravestones, and link these to their time, their places and the people who used them to mark their loved one's burial site.
