Swastika Grave


Although the appearance of a swastika on a gravestone may seem surprising to some, the swastika is actually an ancient mystical symbol that predates its unfortunate appropriation by the Nazis by many centuries. It's still used with its original pre-modern connotations in Buddhism, Raelism, Jainism, and other world religions.
