Description
On the famous tomb of Marie Laveau in St. Louis I Cemetery in New Orleans are XXXs and other markings. Hanging on the tomb are beads and something that resembles a red feather. Marie Laveau was the voodoo queen of New Orleans. You may be wondering about the newspaper on the beads. When people here in NOLA get a lot of mardi gras beads and want to use them again in a parade or to perhaps give away nicely, they count out a dozen and wrap them together in a strip of newspaper.

Thanks to my buyer in Flagstaff, AZ! This view is no longer there anymore. I am glad I captured it when it was. Vandals got in there and painted her tomb pepto-bismol pink. It was totally cleaned, and also partly because of ongoing desecration, the famous cemetery is now open only for tours. Thanks for getting this particular photo. Itβs one of my favs.
