THANKSGIVING
ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING
It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November every
year. There are two versions of the origins of this holiday.
One is thanks for the early settlers arriving in America safely.
On December the 4th, 1619, a group of English pioneers
arrived at a place called Berkeley Hundred, in Virginia. The
group made a promise that the day of their arrival should be
a "day of thanksgiving" to God. The second version is the
thanks given to Native Americans, who taught them how to
grow food and hunt, according nto this version, the feast
celebrated the good autumn harvest.
This video gives a brief explanation of the holiday and its
origins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL9HrFIedtg

http://people.howstuffworks.com/culturetraditions/holidays/thanksgiving.htm
THE DATE

Thanksgiving in the United States was observed on various
dates throughout history.
Thanksgiving was first celebrated on the same date by all
states in 1863 by a presidential proclamation of Abraham
Lincoln.
Lincoln proclaimed the date to be the final Thursday in
November in an attempt to foster a sense of American unity
between the Northern and Southern states.
THE CELEBRATION
Today, families celebrate Thanksgiving by eating turkey,
stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, yams, corn, cranberry
sauce, and pumpkin pie. Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
and an NFL football game are special Thanksgiving Day
events.

TRADITIONS - FOOD
On a broad level, Thanksgiving foods celebrate traditional
agriculture life (don't forget Thanksgiving is a Harvest
celebration). Most of the traditional Thanksgiving dishes are
fairly simple foods that are native to North America..
Turkey: Most Americans associate Thanksgiving with turkey.
This connection goes back to the prevalence of wild turkey in
the New World. At the time of the first Thanksgiving,
Plymouth Colony Governor William Bradford commented on
"the great store of wild turkeys" -- even though it's thought
that venison and fish were the center of the celebration.
Tofurky: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg2JDmDOSDI
After turkey, the most significant dish on the table is corn.
Cranberries were probably on the first Thanksgiving table.
The American Indians taught the Pilgrims to make a
cranberry sauce called "ibimi”.

Thanksgiving

  • 2. ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November every year. There are two versions of the origins of this holiday. One is thanks for the early settlers arriving in America safely. On December the 4th, 1619, a group of English pioneers arrived at a place called Berkeley Hundred, in Virginia. The group made a promise that the day of their arrival should be a "day of thanksgiving" to God. The second version is the thanks given to Native Americans, who taught them how to grow food and hunt, according nto this version, the feast celebrated the good autumn harvest. This video gives a brief explanation of the holiday and its origins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL9HrFIedtg The History of Thanksgiving, a Timeline: http://www.scholastic.com/scholastic_thanksgiving/feast/slideshow.

  • 3. THE DATE Thanksgiving in the United States was observed on various dates throughout history. Thanksgiving was first celebrated on the same date by all states in 1863 by a presidential proclamation of Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln proclaimed the date to be the final Thursday in November in an attempt to foster a sense of American unity between the Northern and Southern states.
  • 4. THE CELEBRATION Today, families celebrate Thanksgiving by eating turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, yams, corn, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and an NFL football game are special Thanksgiving Day events.
