Greetings all
..
I'm going to jump in without protracted preamble and issue the simple statement that I am a sensitive, I am well aware of the mechanics of pariodelia, matrixing apophenia and pixelation ...
my methodology is simple ... as a sensitive I attempt to match visually what sense at the sites that I cover in Chicago land ...several are well known such as Bachelor's Grove, Resurrection (Mary) Cemetery's, Queen of Heaven ( an apparition site formally investigated by the Chicago Archdiocese in the mid 90's) and several others...
I do like replies but urge you to be a little patient with me as I am somewhat eccentric, but please don't dismiss my photos at cursory glance as there always ends up being a few from each site that are of interest...
Situated literally next door to Archer Woods cemetery lies Lithuanian National Cemetery ...
past trips to Archer Woods always piqued my interest in this location but today was the first time I rolled through the front gates ...
There are some really unusual statues, busts and artistic edifices.. some of which my inability to read Lithuanian denied me complete understanding ..
The energies here shifted measurably between the newer and older sections of the cemetery, and as I "listened" I heard one gentleman pining over his military service....
and one good natured woman seemed obliged to serve as a tour host and even commented a couple of the weather worn busts: "
oh gawd those are just awful" ....
[qoute]Lithuanian National Cemetery is a small cemetery located on Kean Avenue in Justice, next to Archer Woods Cemetery. It is isolated, quiet, and peaceful.
Lithuania external was occupied for much of its recent historyexternal. Between 1795 and World War I, Lithuania was controlled by Imperial Russia, then briefly occupied by Germans during the war until gaining its independence in 1918.
In the later days of the Russian occupation, Lithuanian activists published and demonstrated for independence. Several of those revolutionary heroes are buried here, in Chicago.
World War II brought an end to independence, with the Germans controlling Lithuania again; in 1944 the Soviets took control. It was not until the collapse of the Soviet Union that Lithuania finally regained its independence in 1990.[/quote]
