Jamestown Virginia... (and "enough")
Dear Fivedoves,
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/nov2006/ross1118.htm
Wow!!! amazing !!!
thank you so much, dear Ross!
Here are a few things about Jamestown I found:
“...The Far East has its Mecca,
Palestine its Jerusalem,
France its Lourdes,
and Italy its Loretto,
but America's only shrines are her altars of patriotism –
the first and most potent being Jamestown;
the sire of Virginia, and Virginia the mother of this great Republic.
-- from a 1907 Virginia guidebook...”

“..Jamestown (a.k.a. Jamestown Island) was founded in 1607 (‘May 14’) on the James River in what is currently James City County, Virginia, about 40 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean and the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay and about 45 miles (70 kilometers) downstream and southeast of Richmond, Virginia. Both the James River and the new settlement were named for King James I of England...”

“James I of England
– Religious challenges:
...Upon James I’s arrival in London, he was almost immediately faced by religious conflicts in England. He was presented with the Millenary Petition, a document which it is claimed contained one thousand signatures, by Puritans requesting further Anglican Church reform. He accepted the invitation to a conference in Hampton Court, which was subsequently delayed due to the Plague. In 1604, at the Hampton Court Conference, James was unwilling to agree to most of their demands. He did, however, agree to fulfil a request which was to have far-reaching effect by authorizing an official translation of the Bible, which came to be known as the King James Bible (published in 1611)...” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_I_of_England

23: And Jesus walked in the
temple in Solomon's porch.....
Matthew 25,
"1": Then shall the kingdom of heaven be
likened unto ten virgins, which
took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
"2": And five
of them were wise, and five were foolish.
"3": They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
"4": But the wise took oil
in their vessels with their lamps.
"5": While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
"6": And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to
meet him.
"7": Then all those virgins
arose, and trimmed their lamps.
"8": And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil;
for our lamps are gone out.
"9": But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough
for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
"10": And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that
were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
