EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historical moment of the first Sabbath service on Clarks Island in November 1621. The New World settlers, later known as the Pilgrim Fathers, are gathered around a small fire, their faces etched with a mix of exhaustion and determination. At the center stands a man, holding a Bible aloft, delivering a sermon to his fellow travelers. The men, dressed in simple clothing, listen intently, their eyes fixed on the speaker. The fire crackles and smokes, providing a meager source of warmth in the harsh New World wilderness. This poignant scene represents a pivotal moment in American history, marking the first Sunday the Pilgrims had spent on land after a perilous voyage from Europe. The successful establishment of this community would eventually lead to the founding of Plymouth Colony, a beacon of hope and opportunity for future generations. The image, with its raw emotion and historical significance, serves as a reminder of the resilience and faith of those who dared to embark on a new life in the New World.
