Why Macedonian Families Choose Italian Monuments
Understanding Macedonian Orthodox Tradition
Most Macedonian families in Sydney are part of the Macedonian Orthodox Church, and their headstones reflect Orthodox faith and heritage. Common features include:
- The Orthodox Cross: A central element symbolising redemption and eternal life.
- Icons and Religious Imagery: Carvings or engravings of Christ, the Virgin Mary or patron saints.
- Bilingual Inscriptions: Headstones often feature both Cyrillic and English inscriptions, ensuring future generations can read and understand the memorial.
- Family Monuments: Macedonian families often prefer double or family monuments, reflecting the close importance of family bonds.
At Italian Monuments, we respect these traditions and incorporate them into each design with accuracy and care.
