Today with visit the final resting place of Mother Mary Aikenhead. A very special grave with a window to view her coffin.

For the last twenty seven years of her life, Mary was confined to her bed or a wheelchair. Her vision and energy were not weakened by this confinement, but distilled into a deeper definition of service. Mary Aikenhead died on the 22nd July 1858.

On hearing the news of her death a poor farmer paid her this tribute: “That matchless woman! In her, Ireland’s poor have lost their best friend.”

Being a curmudgeonly old Catholic, I find this to be the loveliest and yet the humblest and most poignant cemetery I've ever seen. Even Punchbowl and Kawaiahaʻo Church out here would be hard-pressed in my mind to "top" this one. This puts the "serenity" into "Serenity Sue." Mahalo for bringing this to me, Sue!

What a beautiful tomb for a special lady. She must have gone over and above for her charity works. I'm glad she was honored so highly. Thank you, Sue, for sharing this lovely cemetery with us.

I’m an American Civil War re enactor and portray a Sister of Charity. Being born and still a Lutheran, I had to study the sisters in order to portray them correctly. They were the only women who were allowed in camp with the soldiers without an escort they were so well respected. It has been a learning experience and a privilege to be able to show spectators the tireless work, compassion and sacrifice that they had done . Thank you for sharing this video 🙏🏻🇺🇸
