A couple weeks of weeks ago, Steven and I had the opportunity to visit a National Monument that is rarely talked about in Visitors Centers. She is called "The Lady Of Faith" and is located in Plymouth, MA. Kirk Cameron gives a full guided tour of her in his movie, "Monumental".
It is an amazing tribute of our forefathers that was constructed in 1859 and is the largest solid-granite statue in the United States! The entire structure stands 81 feet high and the top figure, "Faith" is 36 feet high and she weighs 180 tons alone. She holds a Bible in her hand and her raised finger points to the heavens. She stands upon an eight-sided column that houses four granite figures (each 15 feet high) that stand for: Morality, Education, Liberty, Law. This great country was founded on God-centered principles...sadly much of that is forgotten today.
