400th anniversary of the Mayflower

This year marks 400 years since the ship called the Mayflower sailed to Plymouth carrying the a group of pilgrims. Their journey was remarkable, and their legacy of seeking religious freedom even at great risk helped define Americans for generations.

During the first year after arriving in the new land, about half of the people died.

Several of my ancestors were on the Mayflower.

I am grateful for their legacy, and the opportunity to make my own spiritual journey.
