Construction workers have long carried their faith onto job sites, whether through prayer, religious jewelry, or quiet moments of devotion. For many Americans, work and belief weren't separate worlds—they were woven together into the fabric of daily survival and meaning.
The sun is high and hot. A man sets down his tools for a moment, reaching for the small cross around his neck or closing his eyes before the next shift begins. Around him, the skeleton of a building rises. In his pocket might be a prayer card, a rosary, or a worn Bible. Faith doesn't clock out when work clocks in.
