And yet, quietly and passionately, thousands of people around the world still honor them today.

What makes it so intriguing is how old rituals and modern life blend, creating something both familiar and entirely new.

EPISODE I – THE EMBERS OF REBELLION: HOW A COLONY BECAME A CAUSE
Before the roar of revolution, there was the whisper. A tavern door swinging open on a gust of sea-salt air. A candle guttering against the draft. A man with ink on his fingers leaning over a table, muttering of liberty like it was a spell not yet fully formed. In the thirteen colonies, rebellion did not arrive with a bang. It arrived like a fever, spreading quietly, feverishly, through the hearts of people who didn’t yet know they were building a nation.
