PURITANS: PUNISHMENT, 1651. The whipping of Baptist minister Obadiah Holmes at Boston in 1651 for holding an unauthorized religious meeting at Lynn, Massachusetts. Wood engraving, American, c1878, after Charles Stanley Reinhart. This powerful print captures a haunting moment from America's colonial history - the punishment inflicted upon Baptist minister Obadiah Holmes by the Puritans in 1651. In their strict and unwavering pursuit of religious conformity, the Puritan settlers of Massachusetts Bay Colony resorted to cruel measures to suppress any form of dissent. Here we see Holmes being publicly whipped for daring to hold an unauthorized religious gathering in Lynn. His crime? Practicing his faith outside the confines prescribed by the ruling authorities. As he endures this brutal act of punishment with stoic determination etched on his face, one cannot help but be struck by the immense courage it took to defy such oppressive conditions. The wood engraving beautifully conveys both the physical pain endured by Holmes and the emotional weight carried by those who dared challenge established norms during this time period. It serves as a stark reminder that freedom of religion was not always guaranteed and that countless individuals throughout history have fought valiantly for this fundamental right. Through this image, we are invited to reflect on our own society's progress towards tolerance and acceptance while also honoring those who paved the way for greater religious freedom.
