Most Americans are connected with a pilgrim Thanksgiving Day of 1621, but few realize that it wasn't the first Festival of its kind in North America. Long before all Europeans set foot in the Americas, the indigenous peoples urged to ensure a good harvest with dances and rituals of Thanksgiving.
History tells us the first Thanksgiving service seller held by Europeans in North America that occurred on 27 May, 1578 Newfoundland. Religious pilgrims who were sharing that fled oppression in England. Thank you for the Jamestown settlers safe arrival and any other service, was created in the year 1610 when the ship arrived after the difficult winter supplies.Then, in 1621-pilgrims Plymouth Plantation, Massachusetts held a Thanksgiving to give thanks to God for helping them to survive the winter holiday this cruel. three days and provided enough food pilgrims 53 and 90 Americans.
In 1623, the pilgrims at Plymouth Plantation held after another day of Thanksgiving. As drought was destroying their crops, settlers, prayed and fasted for relief and the rain came a few days later.Shortly afterwards, the captain miles Standish came with Staples, welcomed the new Dutch supply was on her way because all this luck, colonists held a day of Thanksgiving and prayer on June 30. This proves 1623 Festival were the source of our Thanksgiving Day, because it is also a religious and social thank you 's.
During the American Revolutionary War in the Continental Congress appointed a Thanksgiving Day for one or more each year, each time recommending managers of different situations of these countries in maintaining their days. Christmas Sunday national discovery of Hoodia has been granted by the Continental Congress in 1777.
