The event that Americans commonly call the "First Thanksgiving" was celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in October 1621.

What does Thanksgiving have to do with the Pilgrims?
When the pilgrims first came to North America they had a poor harvest and were dying from the lack of food. The local natives (then called Indians) showed them how to grow food locally. After their first good harvest they celebrated a day of thanksgiving and a feast to which the local natives who had helped them were invited. A day of thanksgiving and prayer was a common thing for the pilgrims to observe, for various situations. In later years the story of the Pilgrims, their travail and the help they received from the Natives, along with the peacefulness of their first harvest observance, became legendary and widely known, particularly in the New England region. This eventually was transmuted into an annual Thanksgiving as a day for family gathering and feasting.
Did the Pilgrims pray or read the Bible during the first thanksgiving?

Did the Pilgrims invite the Indians to the first Thanksgiving?
No, the Pilgrims did not have a harvest feast the following year (1622), because the harvest was so poor. In fact, they did not begin to prosper until around 1625. The harvest feast was not considered a "day of thanksgiving" by the English--to them, a day of thanksgiving was a religious observance. The Pilgrims did have a day of thanksgiving in 1623, not for the harvest, but for rain, which ended a long drought. Over the next 150 years, harvest feasts were held sporadically throughout the American colonies, in good years. It was not until 1789 that George Washington declared "a day of public thanksgiving and prayer", to give thanks to God for the establishment of a self-governing nation of people. Even then, Thanksgiving was not an annual holiday. In 1863, Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation setting the date of the Thanksgiving holiday that we now observe.

What is the Prayer of Agreement?
The Prayer of Agreement is when two or more people come together in prayer, in harmony and unity, to pray for the same request or outcome. It is believed to be powerful because it demonstrates solidarity and faith among believers. The idea is based on the principle that when believers align their hearts and minds in prayer, there is a greater spiritual force at work.
