(Facts about
thanksgiving, summarized from Wikipedia)
Thanksgiving Day,
is a holiday celebrated in the United
States on
the fourth Thursday in
November. It became an official
Federal holiday in 1863, when, during the Civil War, President Abraham
Lincoln proclaimed a national day of "Thanksgiving and Praise to our
beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens", to be celebrated on
the last Thursday in November. Also, there are reports that the original
Thanksgiving proclamation was signed by George Washington as a federal
and public holiday in the U.S.
The event that
Americans commonly call the "First
Thanksgiving" was celebrated by the Pilgrims after their first harvest in the New World in 1621. This
feast lasted three days, and it was attended by 90 Native
Americans and 53 Pilgrims. The New
England colonists were accustomed to
regularly celebrating "thanksgivings"—days of prayer thanking God for blessings such as military victory
or the end of a drought.
According to what
traditionally is known as "The First Thanksgiving," the 1621 feast
between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag at Plymouth
Colony contained turkey, waterfowl, venison, fish, lobster, clams, berries, fruit, pumpkin,
and squash. William Bradford noted that, "besides
waterfowl, there was great store of wild turkeys, of which they took
many." Many of the foods that were included in the first feast
(except, notably, the seafood) have since gone on to become staples of the modern Thanksgiving
dinner.
I want to
invite you have some moves along with this song.

God
讚美之泉-我要一心稱謝祢 Lord I Praise with All My Heart
(Encourage everyone shares one major thing to thanks
for.)
