The Indian Graveyard

Faith
3
Nazareth's first Moravian graveyard, called "God's Acre," was in use from 1744 to 1762. Although it was erroneously thought to be the burial ground of the Indians from the nearby village of Welagamika, only four Indians are buried here. Robert Haas created the American marble monument in 1867, when the original pavilion was constructed, and it is inscribed with the names of the 67 Moravians buried here, including the four Indians.
