GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) – With All Saints Day tomorrow, a Gainesville church honored the deceased by giving tours of the cemetery.
The Kanapaha Presbyterian Church hosted the tours.
All Saints’ Day is a day to commemorate those who have passed away in the community.
A church leader said that a large part of the day is learning about the history of the cemetery.
“People can learn about local history, but we also want to help people understand why preserving these historic cemeteries is so important,” said Karen Kirkman, Church elder.
Visitors could read information about some of the saints buried there and see photos as they walked through the cemetery.
