The Moongate is a national symbol here on Bermuda. Many homes are graced by this unique stone entrance. However, the Moongate is not a Bermuda invention. A sea captain returning from Asia brought the design to the island in 1860. Today, the Bermuda Moongate is a symbol of prosperity and good luck, especially for newlyweds who pass through.
