Iconography – Zoom Presentation

If you are interested in Iconography, then join Bellefontaine Cemetery and Arboretum for a free 50-minute Zoom presentation featuring some of the different symbols you may see at Bellefontaine Cemetery and their meanings.

Iconography is the study or interpretation of images or symbols used on headstones, crypts, and mausoleums in a cemetery. Cemeteries are virtual encyclopedias of symbolism. The symbols on a person’s grave may help tell us something about their life. Grave markers not only record the dearly departed’s name and dates of birth and death, but the design can often indicate a person’s history, religion, ethnicity, culture, occupation, or social status, as well as their pleasures, sorrows, and hopes for the afterlife.

This free online presentation runs from 7:00 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. Watch from the comfort of your home or wherever you may be!
