New Orleans St Louis Cemetery No 3

New Orleans is well-known for the above-ground tombs in its cemeteries, and one of the best cemeteries in N'awlins for visitors to explore is St. Louis Cemetery No. 3, located on Esplanade Avenue, near Bayou St. John.

There is a lot of history in NOLAs's St. Louis Cemetery #3 - multigenerational families of Catholic (and Greek Orthodox) faith, many society tombs such as the famous Byzantine style tomb of the Hellenic Orthodox community, the Dante Lodge of Masons, the Young Men's Benevolent Association, and the United Slavonian Benevolent Association. There are many more italian names here than in the older cemeteries. But also city history written and contained in stone: of floods and famines and yellow fever outbreaks. Hurricanes, too.

Through it all, the Big Easy and Saint Louis cemetery Number 3 survived. It's a beautiful place to visit.

Padre Pio - St Louis Cemetery Number 3 New Orleans

Statue of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, better known as Padre Pio, located in St. Louis Cemetery Number Three on Esplanade Avenue at Bayou St. John in New Orleans.
Padre Pio, who was reputed to be in possession of the Stigmata (the wounds of Christ Crucified), lived from 1885 to 1968, and was canonized by John Paul II in 2002.

Padre Pio was a Capuchin friar. The Capuchins had a big presence in N'awlins. Combine that with the Big Easy's large Italian community and it's easy to understand how his cult grew strong here. New Orleanians are big believers in the mystical side of Catholicism. The Lourdes, Fatima, and Guadalupe apparitions of the Virgin Mary are all honored here. Being the extremely Catholic town NOLA is, it's no surprise to see devotional statues such as this in a Catholic cemetery. This statue of Padre Pio is relatively new, erected in the spring of 2005.

The inscription on the bottom of the statue reads:
"This humble Capuchin friar surprised the world with his life totally dedicated to prayer and to listening to his brothers and sisters. His body, marked by the Stigmata, demonstrated the intimate connection between death and resurrection."

A Blue Door In New Orleans

The first thing many people notice as you enter a home is the front door. A door is part of the face of a home. It's just a small part of the house but as an architectural element it says a lot about the times. This is especially true of historic homes. Many times doors were almost works of art in their day. Now they are works of art!

A classic example of New Orleans architectural elements is shuttered doors. Shuttered doors allow the homeowner to let a breeze in, keep the sun out, and combat storm winds. Shuttered doors are found on many of NOLA's historical homes and buildings peppered throughout the French Quarter. The architectural elements found throughout The Big Easy are reason enough for a visit.

Today many old doors are restored to give that feel "hey I did not forget that I am an old home". If N'awlins' doors, walls, courtyards and streets could talk I would love to hear their conversation.
