"1621: A Year of Gratitude and Celebration" In 1621, a significant event took place that would forever be etched in history - the first Thanksgiving. This momentous occasion occurred at Plymouth, Massachusetts, where Pilgrims gathered to express their gratitude for a bountiful harvest. Jennie A. Brownscombe captured the essence of this inaugural feast in her oil on canvas painting from 1914. The scene depicts Pilgrims and Native Americans coming together to share food and companionship, symbolizing unity amidst diversity. Jean Leon Gerome Ferris also immortalized this historic event through his artwork titled "Pilgrims: Thanksgiving, 1621. " His masterpiece portrays the joyous atmosphere as families gather around tables laden with delicious dishes, giving thanks for their blessings. During this time, Johann Arndt's teachings on spirituality resonated deeply with many individuals seeking solace and guidance. His writings inspired pilgrims to reflect on their faith and find strength in times of adversity. As winter approached, the Pilgrim Fathers celebrated their first Christmas in 1621. Amidst unfamiliar surroundings and challenges faced by settlers in a new land, they found comfort in each other's company during this festive season. The music of Michael Praetorius (1571-1621) filled the air with melodies that uplifted spirits during these joyous occasions. His compositions provided an enchanting backdrop for celebrations throughout the year. One can imagine life within The Old House located in Hereford during this era - its timeworn walls holding stories of resilience and perseverance. Similarly, Shaftesbury / 1st Earl / Min stood tall as a testament to endurance amidst changing times. On The First Sunday following Thanksgiving Day, communities came together once again to worship and give thanks for all they had received throughout the year. Heneage Nottingham's sermons offered spiritual nourishment while fostering unity among believers.
