Do you have any Pilgrim facts you’d like to share?<\/b><\/p>\n

My six-year-old son was assigned a Thanksgiving project recently.<\/b> Of course, I had to help him. His topic? The religion of the Pilgrims. We scoured the internet and came up with this list from various sources. Feel free to add anything you think was missed. He’s only six, so he couldn’t understand the concept of everything.<\/i> I tried to focus on stuff that he’d understand.<\/i> Also, I added a few things that I thought were interesting that he did not include in his project. He had to do a poster with pictures and facts. Here are some of the facts that he covered – as well as others that I found interesting. REMEMBER, THESE ARE BASIC FACTS, UNDERSTANDABLE FOR A SIX-YEAR-OLD – IT’S NOT DETAILED ADULT MATERIAL. IF YOU’RE A HISTORY BUFF AND FEEL THIS IS TOO INCOMPLETE, THEN FEEL FREE TO LEAVE A COMMENT WITH YOUR FACTS! \ud83d\ude42<\/b>:<\/p>\n

The Pilgrims used the Geneva edition of the Bible. In response, King James had his own edition of the Bible translated and published in 1611 for use by the Church of England.<\/p>\n
