A Grave Concern: Interesting decor

If you look very closely at this cross, you can see lines and shadows of something fairly narrow wrapped around it. It’s a wire and green foil disposable garland with shamrocks like you might find in a craft store in the weeks before St. Patrick’s Day. I’m not sure when it was placed there. It’s a little tattered, so maybe it could be a leftover St. Patrick’s Day decoration or placed there for a more personally specific day, such as a birthday or anniversary. In a city with such a strong Irish heritage, I wasn’t surprised to see symbols of Irish ethnic pride, but this was a little unusual.
