"Crosses were not a common motif on New England gravestones before the 19th century, when Catholic immigrants brought their cross-iconography traditions to NE graveyards.

Big, luscious boobs, however, were actually a very common symbol on 18th-century gravestones — a metaphor for the two testaments."
