Acknowledge of the Divine Name



The National Monument to the Forefathers, formerly known as the Pilgrim Monument commemorates the Mayflower Pilgrims. Dedicated on August 1, 1889, it honors their ideals as later generally embraced by the United States. It is thought to be the world's largest solid granite monument and is the third-tallest statue in the United States.
The Pilgrim Monument of the present day is in Provincetown, Massachusetts and was built between 1907 and 1910.

 The rear panel, which was not engraved until recently, contains a quote from Governor William Bradford's famous history, Of Plymouth Plantation:
"Thus out of small beginnings greater things have been produced by His hand that made all things of nothing and gives being to all things that are; and as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone unto many, yea in some sort to our whole nation; let the glorious name of Jehovah have all praise."
