  11. 📍 Stockholm Nights: A Gothic Winter Tale

    In the heart of Södermalm, one of Stockholm’s most vibrant and historic districts, stands Katarina Church (Katarina kyrka), a Baroque masterpiece with a story as dramatic as its architecture. Originally built in the late 1600s, the church has endured two devastating fires, in 1723 and 1990, only to rise from the ashes each time—earning its place as a symbol of resilience in the city’s history.

    Surrounding the church is its peaceful cemetery, where gravestones and iron-wrought fences echo centuries of lives lived in this iconic part of Stockholm. Among those buried here are prominent Swedes, including Anna Lindh, a former foreign minister, and Cornelis Vreeswijk, a beloved troubadour and poet. Walking through the cemetery feels like stepping into another time, with each snow-covered stone telling its own story under the quiet watch of the church’s spire.

    The location adds to its charm—perched on Södermalm, an island known for its mix of bohemian culture and historic charm, Katarina Church is a beacon visible from much of the city. Capturing this scene under the falling snow at night felt like freezing a moment of Stockholm’s timeless beauty, where history, architecture, and winter intertwine in haunting elegance.

  13. #MondayMourning: Louise the Unfortunate

    No one knows Louise's real story. Legend has it that she traveled to Natchez sometime after the Civil War in search of her fiancé. For reasons unknown, she found herself stranded and husbandless.

    Too proud to return home, she became a seamstress, maid, then "woman of the night." After dying in her mid-20s, a mysterious benefactor paid for her funeral and this headstone, more than what most paupers received.

  14. 🪦 Cemetery Saturday 💐
    Valley of the Temples Memorial Park, Oahu, Hawaii

    Fast facts:

    - Founded in 1963
    - 240 acres
    - Wild peacocks and koi carp
    - Zen garden
    - Award winning Byodo-In Temple, a replica of a 900-year-old Buddhist temple in Japan that was built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first Japanese immigrants to Hawaii

    I was prompted to share this magnificent cemetery after it was brought to my attention by an internet buddy (thanks Shyenne!) I'm thinking of making this a regular feature, bringing you a gorgeous cemetery with some fun facts every week or so. What do you think? Feel free to tell me about a location you've been amazed by and maybe I'll share it!

  15. #WordyWednesday: Ossilegium ☠️

    A noun meaning the act of collecting bones for placement in an ossuary after the rest of the body has decomposed. FYI, an ossuary is a building or structure to house bones or cremated remains. (I’ll do one of these on ossuaries later!)

    The collected bones may be stored in individual boxes, small niches, or arranged into magnificent displays with many other skeletons.

    Many cultures performed this as a means of conserving burial space. Ancient Greeks even collected bones from funeral pyres and washed them with wine and oil before placing them in urns.

    Pronounced oss-ih-LEE-gee-um.

    Not to be confused with the metal band by the same name 🤘🏻

  16. #WordyWednesday: Catacombs

    Another “cat” derived post? Don’t mind if I do!

    Catacombs are underground galleries that house dead bodies in caskets, shrouds, urns, or fully exposed as bones.

    They're excavated into areas with tombs, niches, chambers, and passageways. Spaces for bodies in the wall (loculi) may be sealed with tiles, plaster, brick and mortar, or marble slabs.

    One of the most famous examples is the Paris Catacombs (although technically it's an ossuary since it's used for bones), which is home to over 6 million people's remains.
