April 26, 1607 was the First Landing of the settlers who came from England to establish the first permanent English settlement in Jamestown, Virginia.
The charter of the monarchy said they were to pray whenever they came to land.
This cross is the monument to mark both.
If you ever hear the United States of America is not a Christian nation, or think it yourself, think again. The first thing we did was pray here, on this land, at Cape Henry on their way to Jamestown.
May that be said of us today. May the first and last thing we do all day and night is pray.
Side-Note: This is quite close to me, for three of my ancestors came with this voyage in 1607.
