Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. Several other places around the world observe similar celebrations. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States and on the second Monday of October in Canada. Prayers of thanks and special thanksgiving ceremonies are common among almost all regions after harvests and at other times. The thanksgiving holiday’s history in North America is rooted in English traditions dating from the Protestant Reformation. Pilgrims and Puritans who began emigrating from England in the 1620’s and 1630’s carried the tradition of Days of Fasting and Days of Thanksgiving with them to New England. Thanksgiving proclamations were made mostly by church leaders in New England up until 1682 and then both state and church leaders until after the American Revolution.
