Cemetery in Yarmoliny

Jarmolińce | Ukraine
ukr. Jarmołynci (Ярмолинці)

The Catholic cemetery in Yarmoliny is located approx. 1 km north of the parish church, on the right side of the road to the village of Kadivka. To its right extends the new municipal cemetery. On the tombstones of the newer ones, Polish names are written in Ukrainian. The area of the old cemetery is difficult to determine unequivocally - it is less than 1 ha. It is still an active but neglected cemetery.

Zbigniew Hauser initially wrote down more than 30 inscriptions, eventually finding 25 old Polish tombstones during his second visit. The author dates the cemetery to the third quarter of the 19th century, based on the date contained in the oldest Polish inscription, on the tombstone of Marcjanna Lubińska from 1889. The most impressive tombstone is a tall monument on a several-stepped pedestal to a Yarmolin parish priest who died in 1900, Father Achacy Taranowski. Other tombstones in the cemetery include an obelisk, a gravestone, a sarcophagus, a trunk with a knotted cross and neo-Gothic monuments with characteristic ornaments: pointed arches, pinnacles and tracery.
