I took a lot of pictures of the tombstones in Marienkirche in Rostock, Germany, and will be posting them the next few weeks for Rombstone Tuesday. They had some of the most interesting carvings I have even seen on tombstones. The first image appears to be a medusa-type image, though that may be incorrect. The second image is a moon and star. The third was the most interesting to me, hence the close-up of the skull with flowers growing out of the top. These stones date from the 16-, 17- and 1800's. Tomorrow I will post on the history of Marienkirche.
