Angel St Louis Cemetery No 3 New Orleans

There is something romantic and intriguing about St. Louis Cemetery No. 3 near the beautiful City Park and NOMA sculpture garden in New Orleans, LA. This graveyard is an outdoor museum of art and history, filled with sacred treasures ensconced in stone, marble and iron.

In N'awlins cemeteries are called "Cities of the Dead", but the past is always a part of the present here. Saint Louis Cemetery #3 is utterly enchanting as a destination for the living to visit. It's the living things here that matter: the people who tend the grave sites, the flowers they leave behind, and the wonderful combinations of light and shadow, heat and cool, wind and calm, that make this one of NOLA's most intimate and expressive venues.

The Big Easy's St. Louis No. 3 cemetery has an interesting mix of personal tombs and "society" vaults. The tombs are shoved together so tightly that they create a mystical maze for tourists and mourners in which they can lose themselves. The plaque near the Esplanade Avenue entrance says: "Here the living find comfort and are consoled by visiting the burial places of their loved ones and praying for them."
We are all equal in death.

Mother Teresa - St Louis Cemetery No 3 New Orleans

The catholic cemetery 'St Louis Cemetery No.3' in New Orleans is eerily pretty. Many old tombs dating back into the 1700's. It is impressive to see the way this "city" was laid out and, as usual, the difference between the areas of the more affluent compared to those of the poorer citizens. The tombs themselves range from shabby to elegant.

There is a lovely statue of Mother Teresa there. She is standing in her peaceful pose. Coins are scattered near the statue, as if people had made some wishes. Mother Teresa's story took place recently! 1n 1910, she was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Yugoslavia, became an Albanian nun and founded The Missionaries of Charity. She spent her entire life helping others.
The inscription on the bottom of the statue reads:
"If you pray you will have faith, and if you have faith you will love. And if you love you will serve. And if you serve you will have peace."

Like so many cemeteries around the Big Easy, St Louis cemetery No.3 is chock full of soaring dramatic mausoleums that have fallen into aging, cracked atmospheric perfection. This place is macabre and magical.

A Green Door In New Orleans

The first thing many people notice as you enter a home is the front door. A door is part of the face of a home. It's just a small part of the house but as an architectural element it says a lot about the times. This is especially true of historic homes. Many times doors were almost works of art in their day. Now they are works of art!

A classic example of New Orleans architectural elements is shuttered doors. Shuttered doors allow the homeowner to let a breeze in, keep the sun out, and combat storm winds. Shuttered doors are found on many of NOLA's historical homes and buildings peppered throughout the French Quarter. The architectural elements found throughout The Big Easy are reason enough for a visit.

Today many old doors are restored to give that feel "hey I did not forget that I am an old home". If N'awlins' doors, walls, courtyards and streets could talk I would love to hear their conversation.
