In the United States, the Thanksgiving feast, was introduced to thank God and the Native Americans for the bountiful harvest. Thanksgiving's origins date from the XVIIth century, when the puritan Pilgrims who emigrated from Great Britain to America died because of their lack of knowledge in agriculture.Squanto, a Native American offered to the survivors food and taught them how grow corn, trapping and fishing. To celebrate their first harvest, they spent three days in prayers and celebrations.The Pilgrims invited the Native Americans to share their meal, which sealed their friendship. They ate turkeys for the occasion.
Thanksgiving was not held every year and not always at the end of November. From multicultural, the celebration quickly became a religious holiday and the pilgrims forgot their friendship with the Native Americans. When Franklin Roosevelt was President of the USA, the Congress declared Thanksgiving "Legal holiday". The Thanksgiving Day was established on the 4th Thursday of November...
The most popular Thanksgiving menu is the turkey stuffed with chestnuts; the cranberry sauce; the turkey is usually accompanied by sweet potatoes or sweet potato pie. The dessert is usually a pumpkin pie.
The symbols of Thanksgiving are cornucopias filled with flowers and fruit; Wheat, corn, pumpkin.
