THANKSGIVING DAY

In the USA Thanksgiving Day started as a holiday of thanksgiving four hundred years ago.

A group of European settlers sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to New World. They were looking for religious freedom. Their first winter was very hard and without fresh food half of the colony had died to the end of the winter.

Next spring the Native Americans showed them how to grow corn, how to hunt, how to fish.

Next autumn the pilgrims had a great harvest.

They decided to celebrate Thanksgiving Day with their Indian friends.

In the following years the colonists celebrated the autumn crops with a feast of thanksgiving for the whole nation to celebrate.
