The monument Van Gorkum-Van Aefferden, more well known as the "grave with the little hands" is a monumental tombstone in the Dutch city of Roermond. Background. The cemetery that holds the monument was originally a Jewish cemetery but in the late 18th century, the owners of the cemetery allowed Dutch people of other religions to be buried there. In 1858, the artist Pierre Cuypers redesigned the cemetery making different sections for people of different faiths or sects.  The tomb was created for a Catholic woman and a Protestant man who were Jacobus Warnerus Constantinus van Gorkum (Van Gorkum) and Josephina Carlina Petronella Hubertina van Aefferden. Both were married to each other despite their differences in religion, social class, and age. This caused a huge ruckus over their love and marriage which was condemned by many. After Gorkum's death, he was buried in the Protestant section of the cemetery. His widow wanted to be buried next to her husband but she could not be buried next to his husband due to the religious differences. The solution to the problem was to create a double grave on both sides of the wall with two hands connecting the graves. Description. The grave monument contains two identical tombstones on both sides of the wall. Both tombs are placed on a limestone base, and are made of sandstone. Both are also crowned with the coat of arms of the Van Gorkum family on one side and an alliance coat of arms on the other side. On the back of the tombstone, hands are depicted of a man and woman trying to reach other despite their religious differences. Both graves are locked off from being entered using iron bars to prevent trespassers from entering. National Monument Register Status. The double grave was added to National Monument Register in May of 2002 as it was seen to have held cultural value due to both of them wanting to be connected despite their religious and cultural differences. The monument was added because of its unique design choices, its unique choice of materials, and finally its ornamentation.

The Simurgh (; Persian: سیمرغ) is a Kind bird in old Persian stories. People sometimes compare it to other mythic birds like the Phoenix and the Huma, but it is different and special in its own way. This mythical bird is found in old stories and pictures from Iran, Georgia, Pakistan, and other places that were influenced by Persian culture. Name. The word "sīmurğ" (سیمرغ) in Persian comes from an older Persian word "sēnmurw". This old word comes from another ancient language called Avestan, where it was "mərəγō Saēnō". Later, this word was taken into Armenian as "siramarg," which means 'peacock'. On another topic, the phrase "sī murğ" (سی مرغ) in Persian means "thirty birds." A famous Sufi poet named Attar of Nishapur used this phrase in his story "The Conference of the Birds," where it is used in a fun way within the story. Mythology. The Simurgh is a mythical animal shown in old Iranian painting. It looks like a big bird with giant wings that can carry an elephant or whale. In the paintings, it might have a peacock's body, a dog's head, and lion claws, or sometimes even a person's face. The Simurgh is known for being gentle and is thought to be a female. It is like a mix of different animals because it feeds its babies milk and has teeth. It does not like snakes and lives where there is lots of water. People say its feathers are copper-colored, and even though it was first described as part dog, later pictures show it with either a human or dog head. The first part of its name, "Si-," might come from the Persian word for "thirty." But the real reason for its name is not about the number thirty. However, in stories, they say the Simurgh is as big as thirty birds or has thirty colors. Some say its name comes from old words like "sin murgh" meaning "eagle bird" in Pahlavi
