THE CHEERY CEMETERY OF ROMANIA
The "Cimitirul Vesel" in Sâpânta, in the North of Romania is an unusual cemetery. As unusual as its name, which translates as: "the cheerful cemetery". Around the Orthodox Church, dark blue crosses, decorated with a blaze of multi-colored pictures portray happiness. The crosses depict scenes characterizing the deceased - and and not positively in every case. Extramarital relationships, mischief, brawls, accidents, professions and preferences, strokes of fake - the carver, painter and poet of the crosses, Dumitru Pop, decides on the epitaph. Over the decades, the cemetery of Sâpânta has become the memory of the village.
