Thanksgiving, we all have something we can be thankful for

 Thanksgiving, we all have something we can be thankful for Thanksgiving is a simple reflection on what we have and what we can be thankful for, whether in a spiritual or material context. With the experiences lived during the last months of the pandemic, it seems that we appreciate more the simple things, the family that we have close to us, our friends, whom we could not see for a long time. A good celebration of life !

A little history about Thanksgiving

 A little history about Thanksgiving




Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, has its origins in a harvest festival, during which people gave thanks for the previous summer's harvest.


The first Thanksgiving took place in 1621, when Plymouth settlers and Wampanoag Native Americans shared a fall harvest feast.


Native Americans taught pilgrims from Europe how to grow corn, fish in rivers, and avoid poisonous plants. The first Thanksgiving dinner was a celebration hosted by William Bradford, the leader of the pilgrims, and the Wampanoag Massasoit. The celebration is said to have lasted for three days!
