Graveyard at Gracehill

Image: © Kenneth Allen Taken: 17 Feb 2007

For Moravians, the burial ground was known as "Gods Acre" and had a strict layout. Men were buried to the left and women to the right of a central path. All the headstones were of the same shape and design - the Moravians believe that everyone is equal in death - and were laid almost flat on the ground. http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/yourplaceandmine/antrim/gracehill_graves.shtml
