The history of Thanksgiving holiday

United States

The origin of Thanksgiving can be traced back to the beginning of American history, originating from the early immigrants in Plymouth, Massachusetts. These immigrants were called Puritans when they were in the UK. Because they were dissatisfied with the incomplete religious reform of the Church of England and the political suppression and religious persecution of them by the King of England and the Church of England, these Puritans broke away from the Church of England and went to the Netherlands. Later, he decided to move to the uninhabited land on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, hoping to live religiously and freely according to his own wishes.

In 1620, the famous "Mayflower" ship arrived in America with 102 Puritans who could not endure the religious persecution in England. In the winter between 1620 and 1621, they met refugees and brought them daily necessities. They also sent people to teach them how to hunt, fish, and grow corn and pumpkins. With the help of the Indians, the immigrants finally got a good harvest. On the day of celebrating the harvest, according to religious traditions and customs, the immigrants set a day to thank God, and decided to thank the Indians for their sincere help and invite them to celebrate the festival together.

On Thursday in late November 1621, the Pilgrims and 90 Indians brought by Massassoad gathered together to celebrate the first Thanksgiving in American history. They fired a cannon salute at dawn, lined up into a house used as a church, and devoutly expressed their gratitude to God. Then they lit a bonfire and held a grand banquet, making the hunted turkeys into delicacies to entertain the Indians. On the second and third days, wrestling, racing, singing, dancing and other activities were held. The male Puritans went out hunting and catching turkeys, while the women made delicacies at home using corn, pumpkins, sweet potatoes and fruits. In this way, white people and Indians gathered around the bonfire, chatted while eating, and sang and danced. The entire celebration lasted for three days. Many of the ways in which the first Thanksgiving was celebrated have been passed down to future generations.

Canada

Thanksgiving in Canada and the United States is not on the same day. The Canadian Parliament listed Thanksgiving as an official holiday later than the United States. But the first Thanksgiving in Canada was 40 years earlier than in the United States.

Canada’s Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the second Monday in October. Unlike the American tradition of remembering the Puritan ancestors who settled in the New World, Canadians mainly thank God for their successful harvest. Thanksgiving in Canada is earlier than Thanksgiving in the United States. The simple fact is that Canada's harvest season is earlier than that in the United States because Canada is closer to the north. Canadian Thanksgiving is generally considered to be influenced by three traditional customs.

One is the influence from European tradition. Since the earliest harvest about 2,000 years ago, people have celebrated the harvest and thanked the rich nature for its kindness and good luck. When Europeans came to Canada, they also brought this tradition to Canada and had an impact on the later Canadian Thanksgiving tradition.

The second is the impact of British explorers celebrating their survival. Canada held its first official Thanksgiving 40 years before the Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts. In 1578, an English explorer named Martin Frobisher tried to discover a passage to the east, but he failed. But he established a settlement in what is now the Canadian province of Newfoundland and held a feast to celebrate survival and harvest. Other later settlers continued these "thank you" rituals. This time is considered Canada's first Thanksgiving.

The third influence came from the later United States. In the autumn of 1621, the British immigrants who traveled across the ocean to the New World of America held a three-day carnival to thank God for the harvest. From then on, this custom continued and gradually became popular all over the world. During the American Revolution, a group of loyalists from the United States who were loyal to the British royal family migrated to Canada and brought American Thanksgiving customs and methods to Canada. In 1750, the harvest celebration was brought to Nova Scotia by immigrants from the southern United States. At the same time, French immigrants arrived and held a "Thanksgiving" feast. These have had a profound impact on Canadian Thanksgiving.

Development

In the beginning, there was no fixed date for Thanksgiving in the United States, which was decided by each state on a temporary basis. It was not until 1863, after American independence, that President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday. In 1941, the U.S. Congress officially designated the fourth Thursday of November as "Thanksgiving". The Thanksgiving holiday generally lasts from Thursday to Sunday.

In 1879, the Canadian Parliament declared November 6 to be Thanksgiving Day and a national holiday.

In subsequent years, the date of Thanksgiving changed many times until January 31, 1957, when the Canadian Parliament declared the second Monday in October each year as Thanksgiving Day, a day to thank Almighty God for blessing Canada and giving Rich harvest.
