This is the site of Nazareth's first Moravian graveyard, called "God's Acre," in use from 1744 to 1762.
Erroneously thought to be the burial ground of the Indians from the nearby village of Welagamika, there are actually only four Indians buried here. Robert Haas created this American marble monument, dedicated by the Moravian Historical Society in 1867, at the same time the original pavilion was constructed. This monument is inscribed with the names of the 67 Moravians, including the four Indians, who are buried here.
