    Here they buried the corpse in the depths of the snow. From this on the people made a graveyard of it. It was then consecrated as a Blessed graveyard. The people who had friends buried there came and planted flowers on the graves. & then people leave wreaths of flowers on the grave also. the graveyard is square.
    There is a tomb in it that belongs to a very rich family. There are black railings around it. There is a momument at the farthest corner of it. There are three statues in it. There are some very nice ornament graves in it.
