Szacunek

Szacunek, the Polish word for respect. I struggled to make these pictures at a cemetery in the Mokotów district. I did it discreetly, as it was so impressive. 


The grave is of football coach Janusz Wójcik, who passed away in 2017. Former coach of Legia Warsaw and the national team of Poland. Later he became a politician. 

Several football clubs showed their respect by placing crests of their clubs made from flowers as you can see on the pictures. 


The cemeteries in Poland which I have visited all were impressive, the majority of people keep such good care of the graves of people they lost. A garden of flowers and lights, on cleaned graves. Not only on special days. 

Also, we have never been alone on the cemeteries we visited, there are always people regardless of the size of the place.
In the Netherlands more people are being cremated nowadays, maybe that is also one of the reasons. In Poland it is not legal to keep the urn with the ashes at home if I am correct.

Nevertheless, big respect for the people who respect the last resting places of their loved ones. Szacunek.
