Thanksgiving Day was originally named 'Harvest Festival'. This is because it is a Harvest Festival, which is when the harvest of the crops is celebrated.
In England a Harvest Festival is still celebrated, but it is solely a Church Celebration, unlike in the U.S. and Canada which recognises it as a National Holiday.
