Inside the Armenian Church, a small Armenian cemetery lies in the corner. I saw around 10 graves there. By reading their epitaphs, I learned that most people buried here passed away nearly a century ago or more.
I was attracted by this angel statue for its elegance and mien. The statue stands behind a grave that belongs to a famous woman in Singapore who died in World War II. She points up to the sky with her right hand, which means the soul will ascend to heaven; she holds a wreath in her left hand, bows her head and looks down at the earth, which means remembrance for those who passed away.
