| The enduring fame of the Old North
Church began on the evening of April 18, 1775, when the church sexton,
Robert Newman, and Vestryman Capt. John Pulling, Jr. climbed the steeple and
held high two lanterns as a signal from Paul Revere that the British were
marching to Lexington and Concord by sea across the Charles River and not by
land. This fateful event ignited the American Revolution |
 |
| Founded in 1722, Christ Church,
known to all as the Old North Church, is Boston’s oldest surviving church
building and most visited historical site. |
 |
| Each year, a half a million
visitors make the trip to Boston to experience this unique and stirring
monument to liberty. |
 |
| Now is the time |
 |
| This would be the pew where the
Linebargers would have sat! |
 |
| The pulpit is so beautiful.
The minister certainly wanted to be above all others! |
 |
| "One if by land, and two if by
sea", the phrase related to Paul Revere's midnight ride, of April 18, 1775,
which preceded the Battles of Lexington and Concord. |
