THANKSGIVING
5When some were speaking about the temple, how it was
adorned with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God, he said,
6"As for these things that you see, the days will come
when not one stone will be left upon another; all will be thrown down."
... 19By your endurance you will gain your
souls.
Luke 21:5-19
Agnus Day, by
James Wetzstein
Protestant pilgrims are shown on the deck of the ship Speedwell before their departure for the New World from Delft Haven, Holland, on July 22, 1620. William Brewster, holding the Bible, and pastor John Robinson lead Governor Carver, William Bradford, Miles Standish, and their families in prayer. The prominence of women and children suggests the importance of the family in the community. At the left side of the painting is a rainbow, which symbolizes hope and divine protection.
Weir (1803–1890) had studied art in Italy and taught art at the military academy at West Point.
