How did Thanksgiving come about?

1620, the famous Mayflower arrived in America with 102 Puritans who could not bear the persecution of English religion. In the winter at the turn of 1620 and 162 1, they met refugees, sent them necessities, and sent people to teach them how to hunt, fish and grow corn and pumpkins. With the help of Indians, the immigrants finally got a bumper harvest. On the day of celebrating the harvest, according to religious traditions and customs, immigrants set a day to thank God and decided to invite them to celebrate the festival together to thank the Indians for their sincere help.

1621165438+1On a Thursday in late October, the Puritans brought by Massasod and 90 Indians got together to celebrate the first Thanksgiving in American history. They fired a salute at dawn, marched into a room used as a church, expressed sincere gratitude to God, lit a bonfire, held a grand banquet, made the hunted turkey into delicious food, and warmly treated the Indians. On the second and third days, wrestling, running, singing and dancing were held [7]. Male Puritans go out hunting and catch turkeys, while women cook delicious food with corn, pumpkin, sweet potato and fruit at home. In this way, whites and Indians ate, chatted, sang and danced around the bonfire, and the whole celebration lasted for three days [1]. Many ways to celebrate the first Thanksgiving have been passed down to future generations.
