Things to Know About Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a national holiday in the USA and Canada to celebrate the harvest and blessings of the past year. In the USA it is always celebrated on the 4th Thursday in November.

The History of Thanksgiving

The first American Thanksgiving dates back to 1621 when the pilgrims of Plymouth (English colonists) celebrated with the Wampanoag people.

Colonists in New England and Canada regularly observed “thanksgivings,” days of prayer for such blessings as safe journeys, military victories, or abundant harvests.

First Thanksgiving was meant as a day of prayers for blessings such as safe journeys, military victory, or a good harvest. It took till 1841 to become a national holiday in the United States.

Canadians on the other side trace their earliest Thanksgiving to 1578 when a Martin Frobisher-led expedition celebrated safe passage. In 1879 the Canadian parliament established its first national Thanksgiving day.

How is Thanksgiving Celebrated?

On Thanksgiving day in Canada and America, family and friends gather for a Thanksgiving feast. Traditionally the feast includes turkey with gravy, cranberries, and pumpkin pie.

Parades and football games also have long associations with the beloved fall holiday.
