Bostonians gathered this past Sunday, April 28 to pay their respects at the memorial in Copley Square to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing. A long line of people wearing Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins and Boston Strong shirts snaked around the square as visitors waited to enter the memorial. Visitors left flowers, notes, shoes and baseball hats in memory of the tragedy. Some people also waited in line for a Song for Peace ceremony held at Boston’s Trinity Church. The event hosted speakers, singers and choirs. “This will be our reply to violence,” a Leonard Bernstein quote read on the cover of the program, “to make music more intensely, more beautiful, more devotedly than ever before.”
