1620 Embark Embarking Fathers Pilgrim Plymouth Pray Voyage
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in the rich tapestry of American history: the Pilgrims' prayer before embarking on their voyage from Plymouth, England to America in September 1620. The Pilgrims, a group of religious separatists seeking religious freedom, are depicted here gathered on the deck of the Mayflower, their faces upturned in fervent supplication. The rough waters of Plymouth Sound provide a dramatic backdrop, the tall masts and sails of the ship looming in the background. The Pilgrims' journey, which began with their departure from Leiden, Holland in August 1620, was fraught with hardships and challenges. They had spent several years in Holland, seeking refuge from religious persecution in England, but found that their new home was not without its own difficulties. In search of a new beginning, they decided to set sail for the New World, hoping to establish a community based on their religious beliefs and the principles of self-governance. The Pilgrims' voyage was a long and arduous one, taking 66 days to cross the Atlantic. They faced storms, disease, and the ever-present threat of scurvy. But through it all, their faith sustained them. This image of the Pilgrims praying before embarking on their journey is a testament to their unwavering determination and their deep-rooted belief in the promise of a new life in a new land. The Pilgrims' arrival in America in December 1620 marked the beginning of a new chapter in American history. They established the Plymouth Colony, the first permanent English settlement in North America, and went on to play a significant role in shaping the cultural, political, and religious landscape of the United States. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the courage and resilience of the Pilgrims, and the enduring spirit of those who came before us in search of a better life.
