I wonder how many of you know that many of the Pilgrims who came to America lived in the city of Leiden, the Netherlands, before beginning their voyage. It was there that they recorded their births, marriages and deaths.
Every year, on our Thanksgiving Day, in the United States, they hold a non-denominational Thanksgiving Day service at the PietersKerk in Leiden to commemorate the hospitality the pilgrims enjoyed in that city before they jumped on the boat and headed west in search of the nearest Wal-Mart.
By the way, you probably figured out that "PietersKerk" refers to the church in Leiden that has quite a history and what a church it is. To learn more about the church and see some pictures click here PIETERSKERK
