Kindle Notes & Highlights
Why are there no names on the graves? Arseny once asked. Because they are already known to the Lord, responded Christofer. And their descendants have no need of the names. In one hundred years nobody will remember who they belonged to. Sometimes that even happens after fifty. Or maybe even after thirty.
One might ask a young person, who is this Yeleazar? And he would not answer. And even the old men only vaguely remember him because they remember indifferently, without love. But the Lord remembers with love and does not let any small detail slip his memory, thus He does not need his name.
