thanksgiving

A lot of people want to know what Thanksgiving day is and why it is celebrated. Thanksgiving day is celebrated in America on the fourth Thursday of November. On this day people gather for a day of feasting with family, friends and relatives.

This holiday has a long history which started in 1620. A protestant religious group, known today as pilgrims arrived in the new world on board of the ship called Mayflower and settled in Massachusetts. Their first winterin America was full of hardship and drama. They arrived to late to farm the land so they starved. Half of the colony died from disease. The following spring the local tribe of Native Americans taught them how to grow corn, hunt and fish. In the autumn of 1621 the pilgrims got a rich harvest of corn, barley, beans, pumpkin and other vegetables. The first Thanksgiving  was a three-day feast. Prior to dining they all praised the Lord and thanked him for all the food and wealth he gave them. This is how the festivity started.

Let’s go back to our days and discuss modern Thanksgiving Day traditions. Family feast is an important tradition. The entire family comes together, sits at the table, offers prayer to the Lord and celebrates. Thou historians don’t have an evidence to prove the turkey was eaten during the first thanksgiving dinner but the thanksgiving celebration will be incomplete without it. The traditional thanksgivingparades started with President Lincoln proclaiming it an official day. The full dress parade is a way to display the country’s military strength and to lift the spirits of the spectators. Thanksgiving is a time to decorate home with wreaths, fresh and dried flowers. People give the interiors a whole new look and feel thanksgiving is a day when people send loving messages and warm wishes to their relatives and friends.
