Roman Catholic Settlement Virginia

Aquia Virginia
That the beauty of his countenance be not hidden from his own * That his wounds and woe wherein he wrote his love be known to all the people he redeemed
I muse that it is only when we get off the interstates do we begin to find hidden treasures like this bronze sculpture to commemorate the first Roman Catholic settlement in Virginia. The folk were fleeing persecution in Maryland and the Brents settled on plantations here. Later George Brent served in the 1688 House of Burgesses. Religious tolerance is the watchword for these United States
