Summary/Abstract: The article addresses the topic of the spiritual use of cemeteries. From the multitude of aspects for which cemeteries are of spiritual use, we have chosen the following: (1) the cemetery – the place of many soul-building miracles; (2) the cemetery – a place of light and comfort; (3) the cemetery – a place to gain humiliation, crying, tears; (4) the cemetery – a place of obtaining the thought of death; (5) the cemetery – a place to learn to die, to move from death to life. It is concluded that a cemetery of hundreds of years, in which they are buried generation after generation, it represents – next to the church – the most precious spiritual treasure of a parish.
