This is part 1 of a number of facts associated with THANKSGIVING. This is an all American holiday. Although the US and Canada celebrate the day on different dates, the purpose is the same. |
Part 1 Thanksgiving: Thanksgiving is an annual national holiday in the United
States. It is said to be an uniquely American event. Its purpose is to celebrate the
harvest and other blessings of the past year. Many historians attribute its origin to the
autumn of 1621 when Plymouth governor William Bradford invited neighboring Indians to join
the Pilgrims for a three-day festival of recreation and feasting in gratitude for the
bounty of the season. |
