What are the similarities between the first Thanksgiving and the noww?

Answer 1

Then:

· Came from their journey on the Mayflower.

· They were devoutly religious people and this day consisted of fasting and prayer.

· A lot of the Pilgrims died from the harsh winter and starvation.

· In the Spring the Indians helped the Pilgrims grow corn, catch fish, and make maple syrup.

· They invited the people from the Indian tribe to join their celebration.

Now:

· Thanksgiving is not held on the same day. It's now help in November.

· Now there are Parades, large shopping events (black Friday), people watch football (Rose Bowl).

· Thanksgiving now is a time when FAMILIES get together and share food, thankfulness, and love.

· Thanksgiving NOW is mainly about PREPARING A MEAL. *** (This is a lot different than back then, because back then thanksgiving was a day for fasting (not eating) in thankfulness to God.)
