Thanksgiving was first celebrated by pilgrims in America as a feast to give thanks to God for a good harvest. Now we celebrate it to give thanks to our loved ones for all they do for us, as well as for all the good things we have in life.

Thanksgiving is celebrated for us to try to have more thankful minds. So many times in this world we are constantly critical. The first thanksgiving occurred when the Pilgrims from England came to America and had a feast to praise and thank God for the good he had bestowed upon them. Thanksgiving has been carried out by the generations ever since then. So many times Thanksgiving is referred to as Turkey Day, but turkey is not the real meaning of Thanksgiving. We need to spend this time to thank God for all the blessings he has given to us. We will then have a new generation, and a new world.

We have Thanksgiving so we can give thanks to God for everything he has done.

For some, it is a way to show thanks for Pilgrims and Christopher Columbus discovering America. For most, it is not a tie with the first Thanksgiving. It is a day to be thankful for the good in our lives.

It was a normal event each year to fast for a week and then have a dinner to celebrate the harvest. The Pilgrims called it Homeharvest. In 1621 they had their first good harvest and had their dinner. Our view of this event comes from 1700’s artists renditions of what happened. It was Lincoln who declared Thanksgiving a holiday in 1863.
