  1. Thanksgiving Day

  2. First noteabout … • Thanksgiving Day is a holiday celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada. Thanksgiving is celebrated each year on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States and on the second Monday of October in Canada.

  3. Prayers of thanks and special thanksgiving ceremonies are common among almost all religions after harvests and at other times. • The holiday's history in North America is rooted in English traditions dating from the Protestant Reformation.

  4. It also has aspects of a harvest festival, even though the harvest in New England occurs well before the late-November date of the holiday

  5. In the United States, the modern Thanksgiving holiday tradition is commonly, but not universally, traced to a poorly documented 1621 celebration at Plymouth in present-day Massachusetts. The 1621 Plymouth feast and thanksgiving was prompted by a good harvest.

  6. In later years, religious thanksgiving services were declared by civil leaders such as Governor Bradford who planned a thanksgiving celebration and in 1623. The practice of holding an annual harvest festival like this did not become a regular affair in New England until the late 1660s.
