How very sad that a Dedham Catholic parish has used a Christmas manger scene to attack law enforcement and promote open borders and illegal immigration. The teachings of past Boston Cardinals and the Universal Church have much more in common with President Donald Trump’s America First policies than with the angry social justice warriors who have effectively desecrated a church.

In a famous post-World War II sermon at the Boston Cathedral of the Holy Cross to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Cardinal Cushing summed up real Catholic teaching very well: “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. The same law which calls us to love all, even enemies, binds us to love more intensely those who are nearer to us in kinship or in association. Hence, the love of our fellow citizens and of a civil society which they have organized for their common good — which society we call our country — is a derivative of the Divine law of charity itself.”
Further, Saint Thomas Aquinas made a philosophical study of immigration and clearly reasoned that “if foreigners were allowed to meddle with the affairs of a nation as soon as they settled down in its midst, many dangers might occur, since the foreigners, not yet having the common good firmly at heart, might attempt something hurtful to the people.”
The evil of 9/11 and the Boston Marathon Bombing bear out the wisdom of Aquinas. The Tsarnaev brothers travelled back to Chechnya, a country they had sought “fake” refuge from for jihadi training. The 9/11 Commission concluded that 15 of the 19 hijackers were vulnerable to potential foil by authorities because of their immigration status. That commission also concluded that targeting travel is at least as powerful a terrorism fighting weapon as targeting terrorist funding.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states clearly in section 2241: “Political authorities, for the sake of the common good for which they are responsible, may make the exercise of the right to immigrate subject to various judicial conditions (laws), especially with regard to the immigrants’ duties toward their country of adoption. Immigrants are obliged to respect with gratitude the material and spiritual heritage of the country that receives them, to obey its laws and to assist in carrying civic burdens.”
There are so many ways that illegal aliens do not obey our laws. However, the greatest evil that illegal aliens have brought to South Boston, Brighton, Dorchester, Roxbury, West Roxbury, Dedham, and Roslindale is the drug and fentanyl trade.
The key ingredients of fentanyl and methamphetamine are smuggled by Mexican drug cartels, who also profit from smuggling people into the United States. The Boston Police Department leaked their regional Drug Trafficking Report in 2016, it said, “In 59% of the cases where the suspect listed Puerto Rico as their place of birth, there were signs of identity fraud or use of aliases. This would suggest that heroin trafficking in Boston is largely controlled by Dominican drug organizations.”
Many great families in and around that misguided parish in Dedham will be yearning for a missing loved one this Christmas. A loved one who was caught up in the ugly spider’s web of addiction, incarceration, and death that springs from the opioid trade.
Organized crime is alive and well in Greater Boston. These mafioso are illegal alien drug traffickers. Their crimes are being propped up by the ACLU, social justice warriors, progressive judges, liberal politicians, liberal churches, and liberal clergy who champion illegal immigration and demonize law enforcement.
Sadly, ideologues like the pastor of Saint Susanna’s Church in Dedham are even willing to obscure the joy of our Savior’s birth with anti-ICE rhetoric. Maybe the best way to answer Father Feelgood and his ilk this Christmas is to make a special visit to the infant Jesus in the creche at your local church and say a prayer for the brave men and women of ICE … and the Border Patrol.

A premier legal team focusing on religious and other rights across America is warning the Houston bus authority that it is violating the U.S. Constitution with its scheme to censor the speech of a Christian.
It is the American Center for Law and Justice that confirmed it has sent a warning letter to the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County
For nearly two years he “has ministered at an outdoor Houston bus terminal. His ministry is simple: preach, pray with people, hand out bottled water and food, offer encouragement, and share the hope of Christ with anyone who wants to hear it. No fees. No obstruction. No disruption. Just ministry.”
Then came Sept. 19. Officials dispatched authority police to order him to get a “permit.”
“When he questioned why he needed government permission to share his faith in a public space, the officers declared the bus terminal ‘private property.’ Moments later, they handcuffed him, detained him, and issued a criminal trespass warning. They told him that if he ever came back to preach the Gospel again, he would be arrested. They never cited a single rule he violated. They never gave him a written citation. And to this day, the trespass warning remains in effect,” the ACLJ explained.
The legal team’s new demand letter insists that METRO retract the unconstitutional trespass warning and restore Camp’s First Amendment rights.
Explains the letter, “Mr. Camp has already suffered irreparable injury as a result of METRO’s unconstitutional actions, and he continues to suffer ongoing harm so long as the trespass warning remains in effect. ‘The loss of First Amendment freedoms, for even minimal periods of time, unquestionably constitutes irreparable injury.’ Mr. Camp has been effectively banished from a public forum where he has a constitutional right to speak. He has been threatened with arrest and criminal prosecution if he returns to exercise his rights. This chilling effect on his speech is a direct and ongoing violation of the First Amendment.”
The ACLJ noted that the Constitution doesn’t simply vanish if someone steps onto government-owned transit property.
“Public sidewalks, streets, and outdoor terminals are places where Americans have always been free to speak, hand out literature, and share their faith. Religious speech lies at the very heart of what the First Amendment protects,” the legal team explained.
And METRO cannot simply call the terminal “private property.”
“Even if METRO wanted to regulate sound amplification, it must do so through clear, content-neutral rules – not by allowing officers to silence disfavored speech whenever they please. METRO has no such rule for outdoor areas. This was not policy enforcement. It was censorship,” the report charged.
“If it can ban Howard Camp from a public bus terminal because it doesn’t like what he’s saying, then any citizen – Christian or not – can be silenced the moment their message becomes inconvenient. That is not how the First Amendment works,” the ACLJ said.

A PROCLAMATION
On December 7, 1941, a peaceful Sunday morning on the Hawaiian island of Oahu was shattered by an unprovoked attack by the naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan on the United States Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor and the aircraft and hangars at Kaneohe, Ford Island, Barbers Point, and Hickam Field. The surprise offensive claimed the lives of 2,403 American service members and civilians and propelled our Nation into the Second World War.
The Japanese mission was designed to cripple our military assets and obliterate the American spirit, but instead, the fatal attacks rallied our shattered citizenry and fueled our resolve. Young men from every corner of our country put their lives and futures on hold and were thrust into bloody and brutal battles of historic consequence that would forever change the world. Although untested in battle, these patriots, still reeling from horror and disbelief, united in a singular mission: to defeat tyranny. The exceptional courage and immeasurable sacrifices of the Greatest Generation secured our way of life and the blessings of freedom for future generations.
In the decades since the “date which will live in infamy,” the aggressor has become our loyal ally and trusted friend. Japan is one of our closest security partnerships, and our military forces work together every day to defend our common interests. We are united by commerce, history, culture, and mutual respect. Our strong alliance is a testament to the transformational power of peace, diplomacy, and democracy.
The lessons learned 84 years ago on that fateful day still resound with America’s exceptional fighting force. We must remain ever vigilant and prepared to annihilate any foe who dares to threaten our liberty. This annual day of remembrance must be held in the highest esteem and reverence as we honor the Americans who laid down their lives to defend our homeland on the island of Oahu and in the battles of World War II.
The Congress, by Public Law 103-308, as amended, has designated December 7 of each year as “National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.”
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim December 7, 2025, as National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. I encourage all Americans to observe this solemn day and to honor our military, past and present, with appropriate ceremonies and activities. I urge all Federal agencies and interested organizations, groups, and individuals to fly the flag of the United States at half-staff in honor of those American patriots who died as a result of their service at Pearl Harbor.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of December, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.
DONALD J. TRUMP
Because we live in such a highly secularized society, we cannot believe that America could ever become
involved in a religious war in this day and age. Yet ferocious religious wars have been going on all over the
place: in Northern Ireland, in Israel, in the Balkans, in Sudan, in India, in Kashmir, and in Russia. But
history is a very harsh taskmaster and refuses to let us Americans escape into our secular fantasies and
liberal hot houses for long. Thus, it is vitally important for us to reconnect with the human race’s never
ending history of religious struggle. That a group of Islamic terrorists, trained in a remote war-torn, famine
ridden, hell-hole in Asia, could organize the kind of mind-boggling attack against America that took place on
September 11, 2001, means that America is not only not exempt from history, but has been dragged
kicking and screaming back into the middle of it.
Back in 1588, Christopher Marlowe, master of historical drama, wrote his famous Tamburlaine 2. In it there
is a fascinating scene in which the Christian King Sigismund of Hungary and Orcanes, the Muslim King of
Natolia, both former enemies, decide to establish peace between them in order to join forces to defeat
Tamberlaine the Great, the cruel, pagan conqueror of Asia.
Both men confirm their commitment with an oath. King Sigismund vows:
By Him that made the world and sav’d my soul,
The Son of God and issue of a maid,
Sweet Jesus Christ, I solemnly protest
And vow to keep this peace inviolable!
King Orcanes vows:
By sacred Mohamet, the friend of God,
Whose holy Alcoran remains with us,
Whose Glorious body, when he left the world,
Clos’d in a coffin mounted up the air,
And hung on stately Mecca’s temple-roof,
I swear to keep this truce inviolable!
But as the story goes, it was King Sigismund who later broke the truce and was defeated and killed by the
Muslims.
While the history of the struggle between Christians and Muslims for control of Europe was for a time
settled after the Muslims were expelled from Spain in 1492, and driven back from the gates of Vienna to
Asia and Africa, the Islamic enclaves that remained in the Balkans led to the recent wars in Bosnia and
Kosovo. The Serbs had considered themselves as the Christian bulwark against further Islamic incursions
in Europe, and therefore could not understand why they were being bombed by fellow Europeans and
Americans.
You had to know history to understand what Bosnia and Kosovo were all about and what bin Laden’s men
were doing in the Balkans. That conflict proved that the war between Christianity and Islam has never
ended. Over the ages, it simply took on different forms. The rise of European power put a lid on Islamic
ambitions and the Muslim world became the backwater of history until the discovery of oil in the twentieth
century. But in the nineteenth century, the Islamic Barbary states of North Africa could still make trouble for
the Infidel. They took possession of American and European commercial vessels, held their crews for
ransom, and enslaved other Christians. Our first war after independence was fought during the Jefferson
administration against the Muslim pirates and kidnappers of Tripolitania. It is known in the history books as
the Barbary War, in which U.S. Marines staged their first invasion of foreign soil. Hence, the Marine
anthem: “From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli.”
In order to finally put an end to the piracy and barbarism coming out of North Africa, France decided to take
over Algeria. During the 1830s and 1840s, the French imposed their rule over the territory, encouraging
Europeans to settle there. The result was a flourishing French colony and an end to Barbary piracy. France
maintained order in North Africa until the end of World War II, when the anti-colonialist movement got
underway. Both liberals and communists joined in forcing the European powers to give up their colonies.
In Algeria, however, over a million Europeans had settled in the territory and the coastal departments
were considered an integral part of France. However, when Charles de Gaulle gained power at the height
of the Algerian uprising, he decided that France should quit Algeria because the Moslems could never
become true Frenchmen. And so France abandoned Algeria, and a million Europeans took to the boats.
Today, the invasion has been reversed. Five million Muslims, mostly Algerians, live in France. They make
up ten percent of the population and are part of the resurgent Islamic power in Europe. Christianity is now
so weak in France that one wonders if it is capable of resisting the assumption of Islamic power.
We have been told by our leaders and the media that we are not at war against the Islamic religion. We
are at war against terrorism. But what they all prefer not to recognize is that the spiritual power behind that
terrorism, the power that drives otherwise intelligent human beings to undertake suicidal missions against
the infidel is the religion of Islam. Of course, there are millions of Muslims who just want to lead normal
lives. Unfortunately, after September 11, 2001, nothing is “normal” anymore.
In an alarming article in the November issue of Commentary magazine, Daniel Pipes contends that
Islamist militants are serious about their plan to conquer America. He writes:
The first missionaries for militant Islam, or Islamism, who arrived here from abroad in the
1920’s, unblushingly declared, “Our plan is, we are going to conquer America.” The
audacity of such statements hardly went unnoticed at the time, including by Christians who
cherished their own missionizing hopes.
As a 1922 newspaper commentary put it:
To the millions of American Christians who have so long looked eagerly
forward to the time the cross shall be supreme in every land and the people
of the whole world shall have become the followers of Christ, the plan to win
the continent to the path of the “infidel Turk” will seem a thing unbelievable.
But there is no doubt about its being pressed with all the fanatical zeal for
which the Mohammedans are noted.
Pipes writes further:
As a teacher at an Islamic school in Jersey City, near New York, explains, the “short-term
goal is to introduce Islam. In the long term, we must save American society.” Step by step,
writes a Pakistan-born professor of economics, by offering “an alternative model” to
Americans, Muslims can transform what Ismail Al-Faruqi referred to as “the unfortunate
realities of North America” into something acceptable in God’s eyes.
The irony in all of this is stunning. For years the Christian right has been trying to get Americans to live
godly lives, but with very limited success. The fact that 85% of American parents put their children in pagan
public schools is an indication of how strong our liberal secular culture is. It controls the curriculum in our
schools and universities. It controls most of the print media, the electronic media, and most of what comes
out of Hollywood. And American schools are now teaching American children all about Islam. While the
Bible has been eliminated from the classroom, apparently the Koran hasn’t. How else can you teach about
Islam?
Recently, the Reverend Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse, a Christian relief agency, called
Islam “wicked and violent.” He said, “I don’t believe this is a wonderful, peaceful religion. When you read
the Koran and you read the verses from the Koran, it instructs the killing of the infidel, for those that are
non-Muslim.”
As the son of Billy Graham, Franklin is the designated successor to his father’s longtime evangelical
ministry. He delivered the benediction at Bush’s inauguration. But now he’s in trouble with the White
House, which sponsored a Ramadan dinner for 50 ambassadors from Islamic countries with a traditional
meal and prayer. Also, the Muslim chaplain of Georgetown University recently officiated at the opening
prayers of the House of Representatives on Capitol Hill.
The moral seems to be that if Islamist terrorists bomb the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and kill
5,000 Americans, other Islamists get invited to the White House for a special dinner prepared to their
specifications: no pork. Now that Americans are being invited to be kind to Muslims, where will all of this
lead?
Graham said, “It wasn’t Methodists flying into those buildings, it wasn’t Lutherans. It was an attack on this
country by people of the Islamic faith.” And that’s why the latter are now favored guests at the White
House! Of course, the President is doing this to keep the Islamic states in line while we war against the
terrorists which these states harbor.
But if we are being encouraged by our born-again President to be kind to our Muslim neighbors, shouldn’t
Christians see this as a missionary opportunity? Why not introduce Muslims to the loving grace of Jesus
Christ? One of the reasons why Americans find it difficult to become friendly with Muslims is because
sooner or later their rabid hatred of Israel will surface. Americans in general don’t like to hate anybody, and
they are uncomfortable with people who are haters.
Christianity preaches love. Islam preaches hate. That is why hatred of Israel fills the psyche of so many
Muslims. Abnormal, pathological hatred is not healthy. It requires constant energy to be sustained at the
level it exists among Muslims. And that is why life is so miserable in many Islamic countries. And that is
why Palestinian refugees have preferred to remain in refugee camps for 50 years rather than do something
constructive with their lives. They prefer to live with festering, enduring hatred, and teach it to their
children, rather than accept forgiveness and peace. No true Christian could ever waste his life that way.
Yet, the United Nations aid agency accepts these refugee camps as perfectly normal for the Arab Muslims.
After World War II, millions of displaced persons found new constructive lives in countries all over the
world. But in the Middle East, Palestinian hatred is used to torment the world about Israel.
It is to be hoped that one of the first things the new government of Afghanistan might do is recognize Israel
and establish diplomatic relations with the Jewish state. It would signal a dramatic change in the attitude of
Muslims toward Israel.
Indeed, let us be loving and concerned with the well-being of our Muslim citizens, and let us convey to
them that Jesus will save them from their sickening hatred and grant them life renewed.

This presentation was conducted back in 2017 but the information Father Michael Carl presents is timeless. Father Carl used Islamic writings and teaching to demonstrate that Sharia Law and the U.S. Constitution are diametrically opposite to each other, and any elected official who promotes Sharia Law cannot uphold his or her oath of office. Indeed, they are deliberately lying when they promise to uphold the U.S. Constitution.
The following is a news release from Liberty Council http://www.lc.org
NY Gov. Kathy Hochul forced businesses to close because of their Christian faith
Liberty Counsel is holding Hochul accountable to the U.S. Supreme Court.
NY Gov. Kathy Hochul believes that she has the power to REVOKE the religious freedom rights enumerated in the U.S. Constitution and protected by federal law any time she wants.
NY Gov. Kathy Hochul forced a Christian nursing home out of business, specifically because of the home’s Christian mission.
Liberty Counsel has teed up Hochul’s unlawful order to the U.S. Supreme Court. This coming Friday, the High Court will conference on this case again to determine if they will take up this case this term. This is the SEVENTH time the Justices have conferenced on this case, and I believe it to be a good sign that they will put this case on the calendar for oral arguments soon. We need your prayers and direct financial support to win!

For 50 years, Pinecrest Home for Adults provided round-the-clock skilled medical care to the patients in their Christian nursing home. Patients and staff alike chose Pinecrest specifically for its Christian environment, and they became like family, daily serving and worshipping the Lord together.
If we lose this case, the consequences will be staggering — not just for New York, but for every American.
The Case: Does v. Hochul
Peter Hanan, a faithful Christian who ran a small senior living center in New York, was told he and his staff must violate their religious convictions or lose their jobs and business licenses. Despite clear federal protections under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, NY Gov. Hochul ordered employers like Pinecrest to deny ALL religious exemptions to the COVID shot — or face daily fines, license revocation, and forced closure.
She ran them out of business over their faith…
Peter and the Pinecrest board of directors refused to force their employees to violate their Christian convictions against taking an untested, abortion-linked, and now-proven-dangerous shot. Not only would such an action be in violation of federal Title VII religious freedom law, but it also went against everything this Christian business stood for over 50 years.
Don’t let woke governors run Christians out of business!
Pinecrest was facing fines of 1,000 dollars per day per employee for honoring their Christian convictions. Peter met with the board of directors for guidance. They could not afford to pay the fines. They could not violate clear federal law. Most of all, they could not violate their consciences and Christian beliefs.
Pinecrest was forced to close the nursing home and scramble to help families find places for their elderly parents and grandparents to live. Many of the patients were “memory care” patients, which made moving even more tragic.
Hochul’s actions were a direct violation of federal law, and it’s not just affecting Peter and Pinecrest employees. Thousands of health care workers were fired for refusing the shot on religious grounds. Hochul allowed medical exemptions — but unlawfully banned religious exemptions.
Another one of our plaintiffs in this case had received a religious exemption from vaccines, including COVID, for each of the last 10 years. But despite working remotely from home, his exemption was revoked during COVID and he lost his job, thanks to Hochul’s abuses.
Five years after the COVID crisis, New York Governor Kathy Hochul is still trampling religious freedom. She refuses to accept clear federal law and enumerated constitutional rights that guarantee religious freedom. This is not just about COVID anymore. It’s about whether any state can override federal law and force citizens to violate their deeply held religious beliefs.
If Hochul’s actions go unchecked, any state could revoke federal and constitutional religious freedom rights at will.
We cannot allow that to happen. Help us stop NY Gov. Kathy Hochul — and all other abusers of religious freedom — in their tracks.

Have you ever wondered what goes on in those left-wing, politically correct “leadership
seminars” in which individuals learn how to become “leaders”? Who and what are they
trying to lead? According to Beverly Eakman, America’s best writer on the subject of
psychological warfare, these so-called leaders are professionally trained to manipulate
you in going along with a group that promotes an idea, or a program, or a policy which
you may at first not agree with, but in the end find yourself unable to resist.
Ms. Eakman’s enlightening book, How to Counter Group Manipulation Tactics, is a must
read for those who will be involved in such group meetings. When you become aware of
the unethical techniques used by these consensus-building community leaders, you
become immune to their methods and your individualism reasserts itself.
As an employee in a federal agency, Ms. Eakman was required to attend a sexual
harassment-AIDS awareness workshop in order to adopt the politically correct mindset
regarding such ideas as “homophobia” or “intolerance.” It was a not-so-subtle form of
values clarification, a form of Psych-War.

She writes: “Today, be it the workplace, a community forum, airport security, or the
PTA, team spirit (the old Marxists called it “collective spirit”) is valued above individual
conscience and over unique ideas. … Schoolchildren … can encounter similar problems
in the classroom. It’s all Marxist tactics, just dressed differently.”
It’s all based on the psychologically known fact that “it‘s easier to control a group than it
is to control a single individual.” That is why leftists prefer to deal with groups than
individuals.
If a community organizer, like Barack Obama, “can generate a mob
mentality, and get it to work for him, control of the agenda is usually assured.”
That’s what Obama learned as a provocateur and community organizer in Chicago, how
to manipulate a group of citizens to adopt his left-wing, pro-socialist agenda.
Ms. Eakman delves into Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, the handbook which Obama
read in order to apply these manipulative techniques to his work at a community
organizer and later as a political candidate. His ability to speak before huge crowds of
adoring supporters permitted him to stroke their fragile egos “to make them believe they
were more ‘aware’ than they really were.” Such techniques have been used by every
demagogue in history.
But the danger of such a dishonest strategy is that when some of those individuals wake
up and discover that they’ve been manipulated by a clever liar, you cannot fool them
again. Of course, we are reminded of Abraham Lincoln’s famous saying, “You can fool
all of the people some of the time, and you can fool some of the people all of the time,
but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.”
But apparently, there are enough Obama fans who can be fooled all of the time.
Ms. Eakman goes into great detail exposing the Delphi Technique which is used in
groups to achieve a deceptive consensus on a controversial topic. She writes: “A
consensus is essentially a collective opinion that isn’t necessarily reflective of anybody’s
private view. Manipulators get away with this because the collective good (or “team”)
trumps the individual–a socialist concept.”
She writes further: “Provocateurs, or agitators, often call themselves ’facilitators’ because
that sounds neutral. But what these pros really do is to work the group over to ensure a
predetermined outcome which they call a ’consensus.’”
If you work in a company or profession where you are required to attend such consensus
building meetings, you may want to use some of the techniques Eakman herself has
developed to trump the facilitator. She teaches you how to take apart the arguments of
the politically correct robots. Of course, you will become known as a resister, whom they
will try to ridicule and ostracize. But that’s the price we all must pay when we go
against the politically correct consensus. But you will also attract those in the group who
secretly agree with you.
In this valuable book you will learn to understand the principles of psych-war, how to
turn the tables on the facilitators, master the art of argument, and control the environment
of thought. A very useful manual on how to maintain your sanity and individuality in a
climate of cultural confusion and chaos.

Wind turbines are environmentally destructive, causing serious problems to people and wildlife alike. And for what? A tiny amount of expensive power that only generates energy when the wind blows in a narrow range. With the climate scare finally dying, it is time to take down these useless machines!

On Thursday November 27, millions of Americans will have a hearty meal with family members and friends. Some, but not most, will begin the meal with a prayer. Some will dig right into the food hoping to finish the meal before kickoff. However, members of the American Left, especially those of the self-loathing Caucasian persuasion, not only won’t celebrate the day but will lecture us about how the Pilgrims were evil exploiters of the Indigenous Peoples. But our Leftists friends would be wrong
Back in October 2021, Dr. Paul Jehyle of the Plymouth Rock Foundation hosted a two day event in Plymouth, MA which culminated in a “If My People” Rally at the Forefathers Monument. (The name comes from 2 Chronicles 7:14.) Speakers at the rally including several Indians-that’s right Indians not Native American- chiefs. These Indians are devout Christians who have a keen appreciated of the Pilgrims because they brought the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the region. At the conclusion of the rally, Indians and Mayflower descendants held hands and prayed for our nation.
One historical misconception is that the Pilgrims came here for religious freedom. They already had it in Holland. We know that the main goal of the Pilgrams coming to what is now The United States was to promote the Gospel of Christ because they said so in the Mayflower Compact which read in part:
“Having undertaken for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian Faith, and honor of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the first Colony in the Northern parts of Virginia…”

Nearly half of the 102 passengers of the Mayflower died during the first winter-1620-1621. In April of 1621, the Mayflower returned to England. The ship’s captain, Christopher Jones, offered passage for anyone that wanted it. There were no takers.
The Pilgrims had a good relationship with the Indians. After an encounter with the Nauset Indians which attacked a party of Pilgrims without any casualties, an Indian, Samoset paid the Pilgrims a visit. Speaking broken English, Samoset told them of another Indian who been to England and spoke the language better than he. That Indian was Squanto who had been captured years earlier by Thomas Hunt. Hunt planned to sell him into slavery in Spain. Squanto escaped to England and eventually made his way back to his homeland only to discover that his tribe was wiped out by a plague.

Squanto taught the Pilgrims how to plant corn and fish. Governor Bradford believed that Squanto was “a special instrument send of God…” Squanto facilitated a treaty with the Wampanoag Indians and its great chief Massasoit that was signed in March of 1621. Massasoit was regarded as the “preserver and protector” of the Pilgrims. This treaty lasted fifty years and, gave legitimacy to the land the Pilgrims were living on. Squanto lived among the Pilgrims until his death.

The First Thanksgiving in Plymouth
Today, many children in government schools are taught that Thanksgiving was a day the Pilgrims set aside to thank the Indians for their help. That is untrue. While the Pilgrims were grateful for the help rendered to them by the Indians, Thanksgiving was a feast to thank God The actual date of the first Thanksgiving is unknown. It was most likely late September 1621. Edward Winslow gave an account of it in a letter to a friend:
“Our harvest being gotten our governor sent four men on fowling, that so we might, after a special manner, rejoice together after we had gathered the fruit of our labors. They four in one day killed as much foul, as with a little help beside, served the company almost a week. At which time, amongst other recreations, we exercised our arms, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and among the rest their greatest king, Massasoit, with some ninety men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted: and they went out and killed five deer, which they brought to the plantation, and bestowed on our governor, and upon the captain and others. And although it be not always so plentiful as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God we are so far from want that we often wish you partakers of our plenty.”
In March of 1622, the Pilgrims got word that Massasoit was seriously ill. Governor Bradford sent a party led by Winslow armed with medicinal herbs to help Massasoit. Along the way, an Indian told the group that the great chief was already dead. They went along anyway, finding an extremely sick Massasoit. The Pilgrims with their medicinal herbs, and prayers were successful. Massasoit made a quick recovery and remarked “I see the English are my friends and love me., and whilst I live, I will never forget tis kindness they have showed me.
On October 3, 1789, President George Washington issued a proclamation recommending a day of Thanksgiving. It began with:
“Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor, and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me “to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.
Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be…”
