A New Testament figure venerated as a saint in a number of Christian traditions, Nicodemus is depicted in the Gospel of John as a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin who is drawn to hear Jesus's teachings. Owing to his insistence on a hearing for Jesus according to Jewish law, Nicodemus is sometimes referred to as 'defender of Jesus.' E165.

The first century and a quarter of England’s exploration and colonization attempts in America paints a vivid picture of ambition, curiosity, greed, religious fervor, and innovation. Let’s revisit years (1497-1618) of exploits, mishaps, and adventures to try and put in perspective the results obtained from the headlong momentum pushing this small European Island nation forward with its daring plans to make its mark in the New World’s Northern Hemisphere.

The most famous "pilgrim" hymn is generally considered as "To Be a Pilgrim" (also known as "He Who Would Valiant Be" or "He Who Would True Valour See"). The lyrics were taken from John Bunyan's classic 1684 book, The Pilgrim's Progress. The poem describes the Christian life as a courageous journey, a pilgrimage against all odds and temptations.
