Product Description: Everyone knows how the Pilgrims threw a feast in 1621, inviting the local tribespeople to share their first harvest. But they didn't plant enough in 1622, so that harvest was too scarce for celebration. In 1623 they did extra planting, but a serious drought threatened their crops. For twelve weeks, it didn't rain. Even the natives had never seen anything like it.
The Pilgrims wondered if God was angry with them. One of their leaders, Edward Winslow, wrote that the group decided to humble ourselves together before the Lord by fasting and prayer. To that end, a day was appointed by public authority and set apart from all other employments.
The day-long prayer meeting began under clear skies, but by late afternoon the weather was overcast, the clouds gathered on all sides. On the next morning distilled such soft, sweet and moderate showers of rain, continuing some fourteen days and mixed with such seasonable weather, as it was hard to say whether our withered corn or our drooping affections were most quickened or revived, such was the bounty and goodness of our God!
