Paul Revere
why are there stones on Paul revere headstone, and others in Boston?
my gf went to boston w/ her family and showed me pics of paul reveres head stone and it had a bunch of rocks on it. is it some kind of yankee way of honor.
From what I can find, it is actually a Jewish form of honor.
“When the tradition started, grave monuments were mounds of stones. Visitors added stones to “the mound” to show we are never finished building the monument to the deceased.”
But I have read it being a Catholic tradition, placing a pebble on a grave stone. The pebble lets others know that someone did come and remember. Symbolically, it suggests the continuing presence of love and memory which are as strong and enduring as a rock.
The Old Granary Burying Ground is a mainstay of the places to see and is the resting place of many famous people such as John Hancock, Crispus Attucks, Samuel Adams, Peter Faneuil, and Mother Goose, so I doubt it would be closed for anything other than maintenance, renovations, cleaning, etc.
