The origin of Thanksgiving [The fewer words, the better! ]

1620, the famous ship Mayflower arrived in America with 102 pilgrims who could not bear the persecution of British religion. In the winter at the turn of 1620 and 162 1, they encountered unimaginable difficulties and were hungry and cold. Only over 50 settlers survived after the winter. At this time, the kind Indians brought necessities to the immigrants, and specially 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. On the first day of the first Thanksgiving, Indians and immigrants gathered together. They fired a salute at dawn, marched into a room used as a church, expressed their sincere thanks to God, then lit a bonfire and held a grand banquet. On the second and third days, wrestling, running, singing and dancing were held. The first Thanksgiving was a great success.
