MASSIES MILL â Hundreds of American flags dotted the front lawn of Grace Episcopal Church on Tuesday, a solemn reminder in Nelson County of a grisly milestone the nation reached just one day prior.
As the COVID-19 death toll topped 500,000 lives and counting Monday, members of the Massies Mill-based church spent Tuesday planting 500 flags, each one representing 1,000 people, in the shape of a cross to honor those lives lost.
Against the backdrop of the setting sun, roughly a dozen residents held a memorial service that began and ended with the sound of the church bellâs toll shortly after members finished planting the flags.
