At the Bohemian National Cemetery, the sculpture of a hooded, barefoot woman walks towards a mausoleum.
[Craig Grondfeldt, 08/18/2020]
This sinister bronze by Albin Polasek is one of the highlights of Bohemian National Cemetery. Larger than life, "The Pilgrim" is caught mid-stride, headed toward the Stejskal Mausoleum. If you dare to peek beneath the hood, the statue is clearly a depiction of a woman.
Legend has it that if she ever reaches her destination and enters the mausoleum doors, Doomsday has arrived.
