The tomb of Julio Garavito, and beside it one venerated by prostitutes. |
Dear Visitor: We remind you that expressing faith is prohibited.... |
Recently, the cemetery administration renovated Garavito's tomb, raising it and erasing the messages believers had written to Garavito, asking him for miracles or thanking him for favors received.
The cemetery folks also put signed on neighboring trees reminding visitors that leaving flowers, writing messages, burning incense and other activities were strictly prohibited in the cemetery.
Naturally, and thankfully, believers have ignored the warning and the tomb is decorated once again.
