What becomes visible

The story behind the place: why it is called God's Acre, why the stones lie flat and what happens at Easter dawn. Read the story →

Simple, flat grave slabs avoid monumental self-display. The order of the cemetery expresses a community in which equality also shaped burial culture. Biographical records and inscriptions additionally reflect mobility within the international Moravian network.
