My Speech is about Thanksgiving Day☆


Thanksgiving Day was the first memorial event of the harvest. When the Pilgrims first arrived in Massachusetts in USA, they celebrated Thanksgiving Day. They did this to thank God and the American Indians. The winter of 1620 was very cold and terrible and there ware many dead people, but some of them could live because of help by Indians. Then the next autumn had a lot of crops, so Pilgrims invited Indians and they celebrated. It was the first time of Thanksgiving celebration. However, they had their own tradition of harvest festivals each other at the time.

The first Thanksgiving was held as a service at the church rather than a dinner party. It had strong meaning to thanks for God.
