recently decided to visit the graves two prominent conservative thinkers Polish - Maurice Mann (1814-1876) and Juliana Klaczko (1825-1906), incumbent Rakowicki Cemetery, the oldest and certainly the most beautiful cemetery in Krakow. The discovery of two tombs, and then clean them with the cap half a meter of snow and ice layers it took quite some time - to the accompaniment of loud echoing around the croaking of crows, which for some reason just this day whole throng round the cemetery trees in great flocks. Finally, the royalist candles were lit in the colors white plates graves nieodwiedzanych, it would seem, by anyone - and yet hidden under snow and debris burned ogarki Flowers testified that, even in this age of historical amnesia, some still remains a great memory of the Poles.
Modern man fleeing from the graves, trying to come into contact with them, because they remind him of a closer with each passing day range of earthly life. And they just show us our place in the world. French nationalist Maurice Barrčs (1862-1923) wrote: "The Motherland is the land and graves." (Poles the same words he taught Primate Cardinal Stefan. Wyszynski.). They also designate its area and boundaries. "Where grandfathers of our bones, / are the limits of the Serbian kingdom. "- sounds simple words of a line from Serbia. The territory of the homeland is nothing like a cemetery - a cemetery is a sacred place. Already mentioned Barrčs M. says: "The nation is common possession of the ancient cemetery and the desire to preserve it indivisible." It unites the living dead. The graves are nodes tradition. Who does not respect the dead, it will not be able to relate well to the living and their communities.
Reverence for ancestors souvenirs for their earthly resting places, however should not degenerate into the grotesque forms, as in the case of an eminent Kabbalist Isaac Luria (1534-1572), who in Palestine looking for the graves of pious men (their faith) in the past so furiously that with sincere conviction, "retrieves" the burial place of fictional wise men - the characters, known to him from the book "Zohar ." Tradition is not an superstition (ie, fiction), but the reality – kontaktem z tym, co istnieje, ożywia i nadaje znaczenie. Wymaga pieczołowitości zarówno w badaniach nad nią, jak też w jej przechowywaniu i kultywowaniu.
Tradycjonalista integralny Julius baron Evola (1898-1974) zawyrokował, iż w świecie nowoczesnym tradycja „zeszła do podziemia”. Do podziemia, czyli do grobów. Lecz przecież wedle nauki chrześcijaństwa grób to droga do zmartwychwstania.
