“The Saints Innocents Cemetery (French: Cimetière des Saints-Innocents or Cimetière des Innocents) is a defunct cemetery in Paris that was used from the Middle Ages until the late 18th century. It was the oldest and largest cemetery in Paris and had often been used for mass graves.[1] It was closed because of overuse in 1780, and in 1786 the bodies were exhumed and transported to the unused subterranean quarries near Montparnasse known as the Catacombs. The place Joachim-du-Bellay in the Les Halles district now covers the site of the cemetery.

The cemetery took its name (referring to the Biblical Massacre of the Innocents) from the attached church of the Saints Innocents that has now also disappeared.”

“Oliver” of French origin, more obviously translates to “merchant or processor of olives and olive oils”

If derived from Old Norse (Celtic), Óleifr (or Oliver) translates to mean “ancestral relic”

The name itself means: Of Delos (Delos being an actual Greek island – an integral trading port and important landmark in Greek history and mythology – the alleged birthplace of Zeus’s twins, his son Apollo and daughter Artemis.

Interesting fact about the dead of Ancient Delos: A number of “purifications” were executed by the city-state of Athens in an attempt to render the island fit for the proper worship of the gods. The first took place in the 6th century BC, directed by the tyrant Pisistratus who ordered that all graves within sight of the temple be dug up and the bodies moved to another nearby island. In the 5th century, during the 6th year of the Peloponnesian war and under instruction from the Delphic Oracle, the entire island was purged of all dead bodies. It was then ordered that no one should be allowed to either die or give birth on the island due to its sacred importance.

So, with the inclusion of five leap years (1868, 1872, 1876, 1884, 1888 – respectively) Delia would have been born on Wednesday, May 8, 1867.

If all found gravestones “should” be moved to wherever the body is at present, who “should” pay for it? It seems that many people feel like this is something that should happen (and most people don’t feel that way out of a literal belief that ghosts will haunt someone if it doesn’t happen), but they have not thought about the costs and logistics of actually doing it or whose responsibility it is.
