On the other hand, should Christians be fazed by an EMPTY tomb ??
(The CENOTAPH is surely a valid monument and the restored Shrine to Saint
Alban in St Albans is definitely boneless.)
The tomb/cenotaph in P Lach. is a lovely bit of Victorian - oops - 19thC -
Gothic and worthy of the couple it commemorates. It still gets the odd bunch
of flowers, too - or had when I was there a couple of years ago.
