"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever."


History of Thanksgiving in America

According to most historians, the Pilgrims never observed an annual Thanksgiving feast in autumn. In the year 1621, they did celebrate a feast near Plymouth, Massachusetts, following their first harvest. But this feast most people refer to as the first Thanksgiving was never repeated. Oddly enough, most devoutly religious pilgrims observed a day of thanksgiving with prayer and fasting, not feasting. Yet even though this harvest feast was never called Thanksgiving by the pilgrims of 1621, it has become the model for the traditional Thanksgiving celebrations in the United States. Firsthand accounts of this feast, by Edward Winslow and William Bradford, can be found on Pilgrim Hall Museum. source: About.com

    I think we were taught that Thanksgiving was first observed by the pilgrims??? It's weird how what we learned then is now considered wrong history...like the fuss about Christopher Columbus.
