St. Patricks Cemeteries, New Orleans






The St. Patrick Cemeteries are Catholic Cemeteries operated by the Archdiocese of New Orleans.   They were originally built by the Irish communities to bury their dead.  The above sculptures are not graves, but caught my eye while strolling thru some of the oldest cemeteries in New Orleans. They are located at 143 City Park Avenue near Canal Street.
