Thanksgiving Day
Harvest festivals and thanksgiving celebrations were held by the ancient Greeks, the Romans, the Hebrews,
the Chinese and the Egyptians each seeking in their own special way to give thanks for a bountiful harvest.

Thanksgiving Day was celebrated in America by the first immigrants from England, known as the Pilgrim
Fathers. In 1621, after a hard and devastating first year in the New World, the Pilgrims' Autumn harvest
was successful and the crops plentiful. The crops, fruit and vegetables along with fish, which was packed
in salt, lasted all through the winter. The Pilgrims wanted to celebrate their successful conquest of the
wilderness and so their governor, William Bradford, proclaimed a day for thanksgiving that was to be
shared with the neighbouring Native American Indians.
Thanksgiving is adapted from Lammas day which was celebrated in Britain only if there was an abundant
harvest Loaves of bread were made from the successful wheat crop and brought to Mass as a token of
thanksgiving.
Abraham Lincoln was the first US President to declare Thanksgiving as a national festival in 1863, and he
set the date as the last Thursday in November. This was later changed by President Roosevelt to the fourth
Thursday in November. Since then, each president has issued a Thanksgiving Day Proclamation.
Roast turkey and pumpkin pie are the main elements of the traditional Thanksgiving meal. The pumpkin is
an important vegetable for the native American Indians and one which they shared with the English
settlers.
