Why not bring plastic flowers to the cemetery

This year, as in the past, and the year before, the Church asked all believers not to carry cheap artificial flowers. Dear ones, too! Artificial flowers harm the environment. And that, of course, is a sin.

Please think 100 times before buying plastic flowers. Plastic decomposes in the ground for 100 (one hundred) years! And how many tons of this poison are carried to the graves by diligent believers?





Artificial flowers very quickly end up in the garbage can, then they are burned. There is air pollution on a terrible scale. We breathe in. polluted We spoil our health, we spoil the health of our loved ones. Do you need such a sacrifice for relatives who rest in the cemetery?

You can plant lawn grass, stone roses and other flowers on graves. Unfortunately, mostly now people are lazy to do this, it is much easier to buy harmful plastic flowers.

Conscious clergymen conduct explanatory work among the parishioners of their churches, hang ads at the entrance to the world of living of deceased relatives. Unfortunately, not everyone understands that this is really important for the environment and human health.

There have been cases where pasted ads were torn with a request not to use such bouquets. All because there were artificial flowers sold nearby. It's business! It is unpleasant to think of this, but in large cemeteries, gypsies collect plastic flowers from their graves and sell them on a second round. They know that flowers will be purchased.





Why bring plastic bouquets to the cemetery when you can? plant? If you can bring a modest bouquet of live flowers that really please the eye in the cold season? Artificial flowers at the initial stage of production harm the environment, because their manufacture produces a huge amount of harmful substances.





What flowers can be planted in the cemetery? There are many options!

Narcissus, lilies, hyacinths and crocuses are perennial, rather unpretentious flowers. Gladiolus bulbs and dahlias can be planted, but they need to be dug out in the fall to be planted again in the spring.

Low-growing species of geranium grow well, its bushes prevent the appearance of weeds. Chrysanthemums bloom all summer and autumn! Field flowers, such as velvets, will bloom for many years.





If you are very worried about what the grave of a relative will look like and want flowers to stand longer, look for artificial flowers based on fabric, soaked in colored wax. They even look more beautiful, at the same price, but much safer for the environment!

Think of the living! For the dead, only our prayer is important. Please share important information with your friends! Let no one bring artificial flowers this year.
