The
second Monday of October month in Canada and 4th Thursday of November in the
USA are celebrated as Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving is a traditional way of
thanking god for the harvests produces. Every religion has a different method
and day fixed for this rejoice. There are many special ceremonies.
The
most renowned trace of thanksgiving celebration was held at the Plymouth
Plantation in the year 1621. In the year 1620, the English refugees were
starved to death due to their failure in producing food. Later the Wampanoag
tribe taught them to prepare and grow food for the survival.
To
thank those noble souls, the religious refugees from England (the pilgrims) had
invited the local natives of America, to a feast which was being celebrated on
the successful harvest of grains.
Besides
the traditional roots, the day’s celebration was witnessed officially in Canada
on April 15, 1972, when the Prince of Wales recovered from a long illness.
