Queen of Heaven Cemetery and more....

I visited 2 cemeteries, today, in Hillside, Illinois.  They were the Queen of Heaven Cemetery and Mt. Carmel Cemetery.  They are said to be haunted and one is said to be the site of Mother Mary visitations.  I took many pictures inside one of the indoor mausoleums (4 stories of burials) and the stained glass windows, chapel, and art work were very stunning.  In addition, the artwork contained the language of symbols.  We should not be afraid of this symbolism, but rather seek to understand it fully.  I did not feel afraid too much, but on the 3rd floor, I did feel afraid as if I was not alone.  Here are the pictures:












 
See the Phoenix?


 
See the All Seeing Eye?





 
See the man wearing the Jewish Ephod?
 







 
This rooster symbol was associated with St. Peter (the alleged 1st Pope)
 








 
See the skull at the feet of Mary Magdalen?  What does it mean?







 
See what this window says?  Morning Star, Mystical Rose, and so on.
