THE FIRST THANKSGIVING CELEBRATE
Răspunsuri la întrebare
it seems that in September 1620 a ship called the Mayflower had on board 102 English passengers who had gone in search of better worlds where they could practice their faith in God. They wanted, of course, to arrive to the "new world" (America).
The situation was not as they wanted and when they arrived they faced a hard winter and many died of disease and starvation. A Native American taught the survivors to grow corn, catch fish, and avoid poisonous plants.
So the first dating of this famous day was in 1621 when a "thanksgiving" feast was held for the goodness of God who had helped them and given them these opportunities to survive.
Since then, this day is celebrated in many countries and practically is a big "thank You" for the harvest of that year.
