Pilgrim Fathers Celebration Unites Churches in Gratitude

The event emphasized harmony among old world churches and the democratic spirit that inspired early American government. A Portuguese fisherman raised both the Stars and Stripes and Portugal’s flag aboard his fishing smack, while his daughters sang hymns in Pilgrim dress.
