The First Thanksgiving Celebration

DateWednesday, November 21, 2012 at 12:00 PM

The English colonists we call Pilgrims celebrated days of thanksgiving as part of their religion. But these were days of prayer, not days of feasting.

Our national holiday really stems from the feast held in the autumn of 1621 by the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe to celebrate the colony's first successful harvest.  It's a reasonable rendition of the Pilgrim and Indian Thanksgiving history might have looked like.
