A robed figure called Faith stands at the top of the Forefather’s Memorial; the up-raised forefinger symbolizes the Pilgrim’s faith in God—one way to God

through Jesus Christ. Faith gazes across the ocean in an eastern direction in nautical miles directly toward England and the port of the Pilgrim’s departure. Faith is depicted as a woman and there is no formation of the iris in the eyes because she represents an internal quality of spirit.
