I loved seeing the Nuns graves. They are the Foundation of the Church. The work they do with the poor is simply amazing. They truly are Saints on Earth. I love my Catholic faith and all the traditions ❤️❤️🙏🙏. Another great video simply priceless.
Ron, thank you for showing us, these lovely cemeteries. Moglie means wife and marito is husband. Love how you try to pronounce the names...big hint, a name with GL, the g is silent. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺
8:50 Her name was Mary and she was only 17 (approx., didn’t see the exact date, only year). And probably the sister of the 18 year old and the 9 year old... So sad!
Lovely stones with the photos love the old ones every grave stone gives us an insight especially with the beautiful mounted photographs,they look so proud and dignified
Here in Norway you rarely see photos on gravestones, except for newer ones. I don’t know why. I didn’t th8nk they could do it way back, but obviously they could. May have to do with amounts, that it became very expensive when they would be making such small numbers as here.
sorry, but my channel is about "faces"...thus the title. that is what always fascinated me, what brought me to it when I was a child... so I thought I would take people along...but I never expected 19,000 people might want to come, so I guess one can't please everyone. I always have an open ear for constructive and respectful criticism. Thanks Ben!
@@benbaker2965 - No disrespect ever taken by me Ben. 😀 We’re like a family here, it’s all good. I agree with you .... hopefully as I pan at all those cemeteries, in all the videos, we do catch a number of those forgotten faceless gravestones. What is unbelievable is the sheer astronomical numbers of how many people, at so many cemeteries; what I have come to realize is really out there. All those lives lived, and all those stories permanently lost in history - for me that is mind blowing every time I walk... it is hard to fathom.... And yes, that is really sad.
I agree, especially with the sun setting, casting long dramatic shadows. But I do have some winter vids coming with snow and the one with the sky cam drone is unbelievable...I'm editing now. Keep an eye out!!
I wish we could know the story behind all these faces. I wonder how they lived, loved, and died. I really enjoy your channel. Thanks for taking me along!
I love what you do! I enjoy the stories that you tell. Have you ever visited Mary Quinn Chicago's Miracle child in Holy Sepulcher Cemetery in Chicago Ridge, IL?
wow, I was there recently, my best friend is buried there! I am on it, it sounds cool. I never heard of it. I will shout you out when I do it!! great heads up Nova!!
A friend of mine is a care taker of a cemetery & i asked that same question. They get broken from objects like rocks flying out from under the lawn mowers & hitting the photos. The photos are much more fragile than the gravestones, as the gravestones get hit more often but not damaged like the photos can. When i seen it i was out raged that someone would shoot at or smash a gravestone photo or mausoleum window. But no, more than likely it was from the lawn mower.
Great tour, thank you for your time and sharing this amazing cemetery. I believe the pictures and stone may get damaged when they mow the lawns and kick up something from the grass maybe?
Hi Ron! It appears that it is mainly Italian graves with photos - is that the case? Also the last grave(s) with the two Maria’s did anyone else notice they died in the same year? Wonder what the story was poor girls. As always very much appreciated ❤️🐨🇦🇺
Loving these videos! Keep em coming. Wish I lived closer to my grandparents and sisters graves in RI and Massachusetts. Due to the corona I was unable to make my yearly visit to my beloved Gram Mary. I hope you make families happy that can see their loved ones final resting place.( if you ever go to Fall River Massachusetts my Gram is burried at Notre Dame Cemetery. Mary Santos 1918-2015.)
Those two beautiful young women near the end. So sad. I need to catch up on your uploads but am totally enjoying your work. Thank you for your efforts. I see you enjoy walking around cemeteries as much as I do.
At 4:52, "marito" is not the name, it means husband in Italian and if you look under the woman's picture on the left it says "moglie" and that means wife.
Oh wow Maritza, I have been wondering about Moglie for such a long time. I thought the whole time that was a woman’s name. (Because I didn’t see it all over the place - see it every once in a while on gravestones). So Moglie means “wife”. The reason I am really onto this is because, right now, I have a gravestone picture of a woman in a casket, and the whole time here I thought her name was “Moglie” it says: “Moglie Sebastiana” . The last name I don’t have. So her first name is actually “Sebastiana”. That might be the reason I haven’t been able to find the location on the cemetery database. But anyway I need her last name so still working on it. Thank you - that is so helpful -- now I know.
@@FacesoftheForgotten You're welcome. Just in case, for future reference, mother is "madre" , father is "padre", daughter is "figlia" and son is "figlio". Love your videos and the stories of the graves.
Maybe lightening hit the photo. I just read an article about a man hit by lightening 3x in life, only to have his gravestone also hit by lightening, and there were no visible burn marks.
The enameled pictures with the dings where most likely caused from the grounds keeping equipment kicking off stones from the spinning blades. Just a thought, and wishing it was not vandals.
you are right, but there was one where both were hit dead center on one grave...too coincidental. I think it's an upcoming episode --I shot up to number 15 at Mt Carmel last year. all are not released yet.
yes for sure, I haver a couple of big mysteries right now (1) I just found a picture of woman in coffin, similar to Italian Bride, but the pic was taken before burial. Amazing none the less. (2) A possible case of mausoleum stealing...or the family descendants sold-out on a poor man in it (with his wife in there next him). I cannot put this stuff in comments here, catch me on our Faces' Instagram please. The link is in the description box on all my vids.then text me there, ok?
reat question. it is for good reason I do this. those names that you cannot see are those that are STILL ALIVE. it shows their name and birthdate. in time, in a few weeks, over 50,000 people will have viewed all or part of this episode, and odds are, there is a identity thief in that number, if not more. just statistics, facts. I am protecting the privacy and identity information of the living. __________________________
I love this cemetery, ever since I was a young child around 8-10yrs I became interested in graves. The history. I’m so glad I found this! I don’t remember having seen pictures on the graves, I’m from TN & AL, & have wandered through many in both areas! Thank you for sharing! I wish all had the pictures!
I'm impressed with the amount of italian families barried on this cemetery. So you know, moglie = wife and marito = husband. Some dates are also written in italian. I really love cemeteries but ours here is so packed that sometimes you have to "jump" over some graves to get to another one (I live in Joinville/Brazil)
5:14 She has such sadness in her. She probably lost someone dear to her when she had this photo taken. Beautiful day and beautiful cemetery and beautiful pictures of everyone.
there are over 20 episodes shot there at Mt Carmel cemetery.. here are three related episodes, 2 with Al' Capone's grave: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1h1dZTgrVZk.htmlsi=uCGr7Ydoczk38egN ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NgnsePgdWTA.htmlsi=OcM7RDQMazZSEmz_ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a4umARWi7yI.htmlsi=cpUIcOXyp3l0hDxf and there are more there....
7:37 Yes it sure does look like a bullet hit the picture. God sees all. There are always.....always.....consequences. Whoever did it will be made to figure out was the fun of doing damage to a beautiful tribute to a loved one really worth what you have to endure as a consequence of the bad behavior. Never. It never is worth it. People make things hard on themselves by mean actions towards others. But....that is how they learn their lesson.
I enjoy these mount carmel episodes, Do you know where the oldest gravestone is located at mount carmel? if you do check it out if you can, and maybe include it in a upcoming episode (just a idea), keep up the good work
You have inspired me to travel from Australia to Lebanon in the Middle East to visit the graves of my grandparents who I met only once when I was 6 months old. Obviously I don’t remember them, but I hope the ravages of decades of turmoil & war over there haven’t destroyed anything I want to see & learn of my beloved ancestry. Thankyou, kind regards from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
oh that is astounding to hear Tatiana. please keep in touch, let us know how the trip goes and if you find them intact. this is like a big family here...
It does look like someone shot at Victoria picture.. Do finitely look like a bullet mark if so that's so disrespectful. Sometime teenagers go riding some like going into cemeteries late at night. There's some things you don't do.. I was looking at that red stone. Was hoping that you was as curious ad I was to see what it said :-) . I've been to a cemetery with a friend to visit and leave flowers for her mom. A priest came said we had to leave. That a nun was being laid to rest and he had to pray and bless the grave before she was laid to rest. Even though we had just got there. We left.I know my friend was upset. But told her just leave her flowers and we could come back later. The priest had a ritual to do. We had to be respectful. My friend was or had been raised Catholic as a child.. When I was a senior in highschool one of my best friends and I decided we was going to be nuns. It take a lot of training and studying to become a nun. Funny thing was she met a guy who had just got out of jail. Had not known him long, but after graduation she married him.sadly it didn't last. They did have a very beautiful daughter.but I didn't know that a nuns burial site was blessed and prayed over either that was the first and only time I'd seen that. What he actually said was. I'm going to have to ask you to leave. A sister is being laid to rest and I have to pray and bless her final resting place. Even though she was being laid to rest way on the other side. I guess the ritual was private and he did say the ground was not suppose to be tainted.something like that.. I understood even if my friend didn't. She was a bit stubborn Irish with red hair and green eyes and a temper to match.. But we did leave the flowers and left. I've watched nuns in training and you have to be serious and totally committed. I didn't become a nun.but am fully dedicated to the field I chose. That visit today was short but interesting. Still curious to know what that red headstone said. The minute I clicked on and saw it my eyes seemed drawn to it. Thought it looked interesting. Thank you. Take care and be safe. Love, respect. And positivity always. Neita James.:-)
Interesting with the nun's graves . In a Catholic cemetery in Toronto, Canada there is a section just for Nuns . There markers are made of iron painted black with white lettering. Image a pole with a circle ,their names and dates are written in the circle, no pictures and from what I remember no follows etc. The cemetery has sections for certain groups ! There is a section with only Russians and the headstones have photos and the writing is in Cyrillic . The headstones are like a white marble and all the same size , very old graves . The cemetery has sections where photos are allowed and there are sections where no photos allowed . The cemetery has strict rules and is owned and run by the Catholic Archdiocese , it is very ,very well maintained and is located in a.n affluent neighborhood , it is 26 acres, it spans across town . The staff maintain the graves and if a photo is damaged or falls off the headstones, they keep it in the office and try to contact the family . Anything left at the graves ,not permitted is held I storage , families are asked if they want the items . The section with the Nuns is very ,very hard to miss.
That is it, that is it!!!! You are so right, hmm, yes. I now remember our garage door plastic windows getting holes and cracks from stones flying from our lawnmower. Thanks for contributing that Lori!
glad you like those Debbie! we have 3 more already edited and produced there at Mount Carmel, to be published this late April (they were all shot last fall), and then in may & June, I will probably be back out there with made plans. You won't be disappointed! 😊
