photos - mass graves - part 1

St. Christophe is the name of the site where the mass graves are from the earthquake. Thousands of people were buried here and on January 12th a lot of families came to visit the site. A cross marks the site.

There are many unmarked crosses on the grounds. People who came to the site on the 12th left flowers, wreaths and ribbons.

St. Christophe is in an arid region along the coast.

On a hilltop is a cross.

People walked up the hillside to tie a ribbon around the cross.
