1620: Remember the Mayflower

History is ugly but it is also beautiful. The Mayflower is one of those beautiful chapters.

This week, we remember one of the most important dates in the history of the US and religious freedom.    


It started when a group of people boarded the Mayflower in 1620.  They landed at the tip of modern Cape Cod 66 days later.


It is such a beautiful story, especially when one remembers that half of the colonists died in the new land.  Nevertheless, they persevered and eventually celebrated what we now call “Thanksgiving.”


Long live the Mayflower.
