Thanksgiving ┌───────────────────────────┐ │Pilgrim = one of the people who left England and │ │went to live in what is now the USA in the seventeenth│ │century │ └───────────────────────────┘ Thanksgiving is the most popular and most celebrated of all festivals in America. But what is the history of the Thanksgiving festival? Pilgrims who sailed to America in the early seventeenth century, and who celebrated the first ever Thanksgiving there, were trying to escape from being treated badly in their own country of England. They were Puritans who believed in a strict form of Christianity and were not allowed freedom to practise their faith. In September 1620, 102 of these men, women and children boarded a ship called the Mayflower and departed from England for the New World. The journey took 65 days and the Mayflower arrived at Plymouth Rock on December 11 th. The first winter in America was very harsh. It was extremely cold and the snow was heavier than usual, making it difficult for the Pilgrims to build shelters. By the time Spring came in March 1621, 46 of the original settlers had died. In the same month the Pilgrims were visited by a native American Indian called Squanto. He surprised the Pilgrims by speaking to them in English.Soon he had told the story of how he had been taken as a boy to Spain and England and that is where he had learned the language. Squanto was of great help to the Pilgrims. He taught them which plants gave food as well as which gave medicine; he taught them how to plant local crops.The harvest of 1621 was highly successful. The Pilgrims had plenty of food to last them through the winter. So the Pilgrim Governor, William Bradford, decided to have a party to celebrate the harvest. The Pilgrims, Squanto and 90 other Indians enjoyed a three-day Thanksgiving festival. They played games, sang songs and danced together. The following year the harvest was not so good and in their third year the summer sun was so hot that it seemed as 'though the crops would all die. Governor Bradford demanded the Pilgrims pray for rain. The very next day the rains came and so Bradford ordered another day of Thanksgiving and once again gave an invitation to the local Indians to join them. This day, November 29th,1623 is seen as the true start of the ( annual) Thanksgiving Day. The holiday is now celebrated across America on the fourth Thursday in November. [共10題]
