Scavenger Hunt 2022
Due to the popularity of last summer’s photo contest, this year The Catholic Cemeteries is having a Symbols Scavenger Hunt! You will be looking for various markers/monuments throughout our cemeteries. We invite you to find a symbol from the list below, then take a photo of the marker/monument containing the symbol. The photo must include the entire marker/monument showing the name(s) and other identifiable information.
The Symbols You’ll Need to Find:
- Alpha and Omega
- Angels
- Broken Pillar
- Chi-Rho (P + X) with grapes and bread (“wafers”)
