The peace and order of the graves surrounding ancient churches was suddenly marred by images of slave children shaping and polishing the stone that marked those graves.
This made me so sad. We want to mark the passing of a loved one by giving them a final resting place with stone to show some representation of that loved one, but that pretty stone we think nothing of (except for often the expensive price tag), is contributing to the suffering and death of someone else we will never meet. Those buying these stones are grieving and the last thing on their mind would be to question the origins of this stone. It creates a perfect blind spot for this industry to continue to get away with atrocities.
