ORIZABA - Old Cemetery & the Giant's Monolith
The first time there was an attempt to secularize the Cemeteries in the Spanish Kingdom happened on April 3rd, 1787, when King Charles III signed an edict that would reestablish the control of all the kingdom's Cemeteries to the secular powers. The churches and their grounds could not be used to bury the remains of the subjects. The motion was motivated by the Miasmatic Movement ( to avoid illnesses and infections that emanated from the miasmas -bad air- from and around the churches). It proposed the ending of the old tradition of burying the dead whitin the church's grounds to avoid the contamination of the air and water.
Both, the church and the citizentry rejected the royal edict since they believed the spirits of the deseaced would be more 'protected' within the church's grounds and the fact that was a tremendous revenue for the church. The sanitary measurement did not take effect until the year 1809, when the first Municipal Cemetery was open to the public in the City of Madrid, the Fuencarral Cemetery.
In Mexico, the tradition did not change until after the War of Independence and particularly, after the expulsion of the powerful spanish priests from the new independent Mexico.
In the City of Orizaba, the tradition did not cease until the year 1825, when the first Secular Cemetery became a reality. Until then, the city's wealthy classes buried their dead within the walls of the Temple of Saint Michael the Archangel and those who could not afford the tremendous fortunes asked by the church to use the building as last resting place had to do with the atrium or around the church's grounds. The rest of the city's catholic churches followed the same ancient tradition. The Saint Michael Archangel's Temple's deceased overpopulation reached the tipping point when the bones started surfacing after the city's frequent rain storms.

Vesta Williams - God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen - Live Concert
Mary Vesta Williams (December 1, 1957 – September 22, 2011[2]) was an American singer-songwriter, who performed across genres such as pop, jazz, adult contemporary and R&B. Originally credited as Vesta Williams, she was simply known as Vesta beginning in the 1990s.[3] She was known for her four–octave vocal range.[4][5] She once sang The Star-Spangled Banner for the Los Angeles Lakers game opener using all four of those octaves. Although Williams never had any albums certified gold nor any Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, she scored six Top 10 hits on the United States Billboard R&B chart from the mid–1980s to the early–1990s which included Once Bitten, Twice Shy (1986), Sweet Sweet Love (1988), Special (1993), and her 1989 R&B hit and signature song,[6] Congratulations
Born in Coshocton, Ohio, United States,[1][3] Williams' father was a disc jockey. Her family moved from Ohio to Los Angeles in the 1960s. [3] Former Fifth Dimension member Ron Townson put Williams in his band Wild Honey.[8] Following that stint, Williams found work as a backup singer, working with artists such as Chaka Khan, Gladys Knight, Sting, Stephanie Mills, Anita Baker and Gordon Lightfoot. Williams sang on the original version of Joe Sample's The Survivor,[8] and met producer David Crawford while working with his group Klique. After doing session work, she landed a recording contract with A&M Records and her debut album, Vesta, was released in 1986.[8] The album featured her first Top 10 R&B hit Once Bitten, Twice Shy, which became her only UK hit and performed modestly on the US R&B charts.[3]
Her 1988 release, Vesta 4 U, produced the Top 10 R&B hits Sweet Sweet Love, 4 U, and Congratulations, with the latter peaking at #55 on the Hot 100 chart and #5 on the R&B chart.[9] Congratulations was Vesta's only single to enter the Hot 100 chart. The album was also her most successful,[citation needed] and her only album to appear on the US Billboard 200, peaking at #131. In 1991, Williams released her third album entitled Special, with the title track as a single. Special became her highest charting song on the R&B chart at #2, but sales of the album were less than that of Vesta 4 U. Her next album, 1993's Everything-N-More, produced only a minor R&B hit, Always.[10]
In 1989, Polygram Records purchased A&M Records. Williams' 1998 album Relationships was released under the Polygram name, and it became a modest seller, appearing on the R&B charts. Following the release of Relationships, A&M/Polygram did not renew her contract. Williams continued to work as a session singer, landing spots on albums by such artists as Phil Perry, Howard Hewett, and George Duke. Her voice could be heard by radio listeners in jingles for advertisers that included McDonald's, Nike, Baskin-Robbins, Diet Coke, Revlon and Exxon.[11] That same year, she performed the opening theme to the ABC miniseries, The Women of Brewster Place.[12]
Williams portrayed a saloon singer in the 1993 film Posse, directed by Mario Van Peebles.[13] During this time period she had a hit with the SWV song, Rain, recorded alongside smooth jazz musician Norman Brown.[citation needed] Williams had a recurring role as Monica, Jackée Harry's best friend, in the television series Sister, Sister in the 1998-99 season. Her singing voice is featured in the theme song of UPN's Malcolm and Eddie.[14]
In 2000, Polygram released a compilation album, featuring songs from Williams and former A&M artist CeCe Peniston. In 2007, Williams released an album of R&B songs on Shanachie Records entitled Distant Lover. Produced by Chris Big Dog Davis, Distant Lover was a cover album featuring songs originally recorded by Bill Withers, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, Sade, and Deniece Williams. Her last recording was the song Dedicated, released on 7 December 2010 on Stimuli Music.[15]
By 2002, Williams had become a radio personality, and was co-hosting a morning show on KRNB in Dallas/Fort Worth.[16] In recent years, Williams had lost 100 pounds, going from size 26 to size 6.[17] It was at this time that Williams became an advocate for the prevention of childhood obesity and juvenile diabetes.[18]
Her final performance occurred on September 17, 2011 in Portsmouth, Virginia at the Autumn Jazz Explosion, just five days before her death.[14]
She was scheduled to perform at the 21st annual DIVAS Simply Singing! in Los Angeles on October 22, 2011. Shanice performed Congratulations during the show as a tribute to Williams. There was also a tribute to the late singer Teena Marie.[19] Williams was taping an episode of TV One's Unsung at the time of her death. It aired January 2, 2012
On September 22, 2011, Williams was found dead in a hotel room in El Segundo, California, a suburb of Los Angeles
