Angels’ Garden Gives The Deceased Young Souls A New Home

For parents who lost their babies under 24 weeks of pregnancy, their biggest wish is to find their babies a decent burying ground. And the Angels’ Garden at the Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery is the first burial facility in Hong Kong for these very young souls.

Anna Mok is one of the staff members responsible for setting up the garden. Having gone through a miscarriage herself, she is thankful that she can use her own experience to encourage other parents in coping with their loss. To her, this is an amazing arrangement by God.

Today, the garden is also where cemetery tours take place as part of the life and death education. Mok believes that one can only understand life by understanding death. Read the story to see how the garden developed a linkage between the dead and the alive.
