Pilgrims at Your Table
We'll have Pilgrims on our table on Thanksgiving. Nice ceramic Pilgrims. They won't eat.
We'll also have pilgrims at our table. Living, breathing pilgrims. And, man, will they eat!
We're all pilgrims, whether we know it or not. No, not the kind that wear black hats, white bonnets or big buckles. But the kind William Bradford, the governor of the Plymouth colony, wrote about.
As the intrepid Mayflower travelers were preparing to leave England and head into the unknown, Bradford wrote about what was in their hearts. "They knew they were pilgrims, and looked not so much on these things, but lifted up their eyes to the heavens, their dearest country, and quieted their spirits."
