It originated in America. The grateful Pilgrims then declared a three-day feast, starting on December 13, 1621, to thank God and to celebrate with their Indian friends. While this was not the first Thanksgiving in America (thanksgiving services were held in Virginia as early as 1607), it was America's first Thanksgiving Festival. Source: www.christiananswers.net
How the Pilgrims survived their first winter?
The Wampanoag tribe played a pivotal role in the Pilgrims' survival of their first winter in the New World.
