Upon sighting land in 1492, Christopher Columbus named the land San Salvador, which means Holy Savior, and he gave this prayer to recognize the divine aid in ensuring the safety of his voyage:
“O Lord, Almighty and everlasting God, by Thy Holy Word Thou has created the heaven, and the earth, and the sea; blessed and glorified be Thy Name, and praised be Thy Majesty, which hath deigned to use us, Thy humble servants, that Thy holy Name may be proclaimed in this second part of the earth.”
Christopher Columbus’s tomb; Seville Cathedral, Spain.

Éarendel arose where the shadow flows at Ocean's silent brim; through the mouth of night as a ray of light where the shores are sheer and dim he launched his bark like a silver spark from the last and lonely sand; then on sunlit breath of day's fiery death he sailed from Westerland.
