馬裡蘭日，1634年3月25日

天主教徒為了躲避英格蘭的宗教迫害，視馬裡蘭為天堂。這個殖民地並在1649年，通過確保宗教自由，信仰猶太基督的教徒一樣會受到公平審判。除了繁忙的巴爾的摩港，馬裡蘭還有很多有名的城市，如安那波利斯，美國軍官學校所在地，1845年興建。你可以看看照片上圍繞在馬裡蘭周圍的土地和城市。


Catholics escaping religious persecution in England saw Maryland as a safe haven. The colony even passed an act ensuring religious liberty and justice to those who believed in Jesus Christ in 1649. Besides the busy port of Baltimore, another important city in Maryland is Annapolis, established as the capital in 1694 and home to the U.S. Naval Academy, founded in 1845. You can see the grounds and surrounding city in this photo. When do you think Maryland became a state, and what famous song was written here?
