6+ day, 8+ hour ago (212+ words) Despite intense suffering and hardship in their new home, the Pilgrims gathered together in gratitude.

Except for wild turkey, which may have been absent from the menu for that feast, these generalities ring true, but they cause us to forget that those men, women, and children we call Pilgrims were flesh-and-blood human beings.

Church of the Holy Sepulchre: The Holiest Christian Site Nestled in the narrow streets of the Old City of Jerusalem is the monumentally important Church of the Holy Sepulchre'the most sacred Christian complex. The church is believed to be on the specific site within Golgotha, also known as Calvary, where Jesus Christ"s Crucifixion and Resurrection occurred.
