The origin of Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day Celebrations

Thanksgiving Day is an ancient festival created by the American people. It is also a festival for Americans to gather together. Therefore, Americans always feel that they are friendly.

Thanksgiving Day is the most authentic and American-style holiday in American national holidays, and it is most closely related to early American history. An early immigrant from Plymouth, Massachusetts. These immigrants were called Puritans in the British mainland because they were not completely dissatisfied with the religious reforms of the British Church, and the political repression and religious persecution of the British and British churches, so these Puritans left the British Church and went to the Netherlands. Later, I decided to move to the uninhabited land on the other side of the Atlantic, hoping to live freely according to my own wishes.

In 1620, the famous "Mayflower" ship was loaded with 102 people from the Puritans who could not bear the persecution of British religious resistance. In the winter of 1620 and 1621, they met with refugees to bring in necessities, and specially sent people to teach them how to hunt, fish and grow corn and pumpkin. With the help of the Indians, the immigrants finally got a bumper harvest. In the days of celebrating the harvest, according to religious traditions and customs, immigrants set the days of thanking God and decided to thank the Indians for their sincere help and invite them to celebrate the festival together.

On Thursday, in late November 1621, the Puritans and the 90 Indians brought by Massasol gathered to celebrate the first Thanksgiving in American history.

Canada and the United States are not on the same day of Thanksgiving, and the Canadian Parliament has listed Thanksgiving as a statutory holiday later than the United States. But Canada’s first Thanksgiving Day is 40 years earlier than the United States. Unlike Americans who remember the tradition of the Puritan ancestors who settled in the New World, Canadians are mainly grateful for the success of God. Thanksgiving in Canada is earlier than Thanksgiving in the United States. The simple fact is that Canada's harvest season is earlier than the United States because Canada is closer to the north. Thanksgiving in Canada is generally considered to be influenced by three traditional habits.

One is the influence from European tradition.

The second is the impact of British explorers celebrating their survival.

The third effect came from the later US.
