For some blocks before reaching the entrance are paintings of Christ, representing the last days of his life.
At the gateway are the three statues of Christ and the two thieves nailed to the cross.
The guide showed them the graves of Dürer and Sachs, and one of a man who had been killed, while asleep, by his wife hammering a nail in his head. There was a bronze skull, with the nail in it just where she killed him.
Another interesting bronze was the figure of a woman with a lizard on a perch, which, when touched, turns towards the woman's figure and shows where she was bitten in the neck by the lizard that killed her.
The girls thought that very quaint and more interesting than any they saw, though there were many very beautifully carved, and, being of bronze, were of great value.
While our party was wandering through the cemetery a funeral was taking place, and as the entire service was intoned, it was very impressive.
Mr. Winter said as they entered the carriage, "You have had enough sight-seeing for to-day, and we will drive home and talk over all the wonderful and interesting things we have seen and heard to-day."
