THANKSGIVING
Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival celebrated primarily in the
United States and Canada. Traditionally, it has been a time to give
thanks for a bountiful harvest. While there was an underlying religious
element in the original celebration, Thanksgiving today is primarily
identified as a secular holiday. Currently, in Canada, Thanksgiving is
celebrated on the second Monday of October and in the United States,
it is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. Thanksgiving in
Canada falls on the same day as Columbus Day in the United States.
Thanksgiving in North America had originated from a mix of European
and Native traditions. Typically in Europe, festivals were held before
and after the harvest cycles to give thanks to God for a good harvest,
to rejoice together after much hard
work with the rest of the community.
At the time, Native Americans had
also celebrated the end of a harvest
season. When Europeans first
arrived to the Americas, they brought
with them their own harvest festival
traditions from Europe, celebrating
their safe voyage, peace and good
harvest. Though the origins of the
holiday in both Canada and the
United States are similar, Americans
do not typically celebrate the
contributions made in Newfoundland, while Canadians do not celebrate
the contributions made in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

THANKSGIVING IN CANADA
The origins of the first Thanksgiving in Canada goes back to an

explorer, Martin Frobisher, who had been trying to find a northern
passage to the Pacific Ocean. Frobisher's Thanksgiving celebration
was not for harvest, but for homecoming. He had safely returned from
an unsuccessful search for the
Northwest Passage, avoiding the
later fate of Henry Hudson and Sir
John Franklin. In the year 1578,
Frobisher held a formal ceremony
in Newfoundland to give thanks for
surviving the long journey.[5] Years
later, the tradition of a feast would
continue as more settlers began to arrive to the Canadian colonies.
THANKSGIVING IN US
In the United States, the modern Thanksgiving holiday tradition traces

its origins to a 1621 celebration at Plymouth in present-day
Massachusetts. There is also evidence for an earlier harvest
celebration on the continent by Spanish explorers in Florida during
1565, as well as thanksgiving feasts in the Virginia Colony. The initial
thanksgiving observance at Virginia in 1619 was prompted by the
colonists' leaders to give thanks to God on the anniversary of the
settlement.[9] The 1621 Plymouth feast and thanksgiving to God was
prompted by a good harvest. In later years, the tradition was continued
by civil leaders such as Governor Bradford who planned a thanksgiving
celebration and fast in 1623.
While initially, the Plymouth
colony did not have enough food
to feed half of the 102 colonists,
the Wampanoag Native
Americans helped the Pilgrims by
providing seeds and teaching
them to fish. The practice of
holding an annual harvest festival
like this however, did not become
a regular affair in New England
until the late 1660s.
According to historian Jeremy

Bangs, director of the Leiden American Pilgrim Museum, the Pilgrims
may have been influenced by watching the annual services of
Thanksgiving for the relief of the siege of Leiden in 1574, while they
were staying in Leiden.
