Thanksgiving

Recommended Posts

Thanksgiving has nothing to do with the founding of a country. It is an old pagan festival (hijacked by the early Christians in the Middle Ages) to celebrate the end of the harvest season. In the USA it is traditionally celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November, and in Canada it is celebrated on the second Monday in October. In the UK Thanksgiving is another name for the Harvest festival, held in churches across the country on a relevant Sunday to mark the end of the local harvest.

 

 

But whatever its origins: happy thanksgiving!
