From the Gasworkers' Strike to the high seas and far-off lands, it has been a source of comfort and community throughout history. An engraving of the Gasworkers Strike in the 19th century shows workers taking a break to attend church, a testament to the power of faith during times of hardship. In contrast, the New Children of the Empire, a Russian religious sect settled in Canada, are seen in a black and white photograph, gathered for a solemn service in the late 1800s. The Regency Era in 1817 brought elegance to Sunday service, as depicted in an engraving of a country church. Meanwhile, sailors at sea found solace in their faith, as shown in a lithograph of "For those in Peril on the Sea" and a Sunday service on board the "Ophir." The Mediterranean Fleet off Salonica and the North Sea Fishing Fleet both held Sunday services, as documented in engravings. The Thames Church Mission in the North Sea ensured that seafarers received spiritual guidance, no matter the distance from home. In Africa, the MEIA Evangelical Church in Grand Bassam, Ivory Coast, welcomed worshippers for Sunday service. And in Europe, the Orthodox Coptic community in Chatenay-Malabry, Hauts-de-Seine, France, celebrated Palm Sunday with traditional rituals and devotion.
