EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the 19th century depicts a significant moment in American history - the first mass celebrated by English colonists upon their arrival at Maryland on March 25,1634. The image transports us back in time to witness this historic event unfold on a picturesque beach. A group of men, dressed in colonial attire, stand together with reverence and anticipation as they prepare for the religious ceremony. The scene is filled with symbolism and emotion. A Jesuit priest stands at the forefront, adorned in his sacred vestments, holding a cross high above his head. His presence signifies the importance of faith and spirituality to these early settlers as they establish their colony in the New World. The atmosphere is one of hope and unity as these brave colonists embark on a new chapter of their lives. The vastness of the North American landscape stretches out behind them, reminding us of both the challenges and opportunities that awaited them. This wood engraving serves as a powerful reminder of our nation's roots and highlights the pivotal role that religion played in shaping early American society. It captures not only an important historical moment but also evokes a sense of awe and wonderment for those who view it today.
