Justine is relieved to read that the trend in Salzburg for decorating graves is tending towards a more 'natural' look. On All Souls Day, 2 November, in preparation for the traditional blessing, graves in Maria Alm are extravagently decorated with flowers, candles and angels. Justine hopes that the 6 priests' graves that she and Simon tend, another Messner responsibility, will be recognised as 'natural' rather than unkempt. Simon enjoys embracing all the Catholic traditions, Justine struggles and welcomes a little step along the road towards (undermining hundreds of years of Catholic tradition and) making everything just a little more practical.
