The interesting story of Thanksgiving Day in the US

What do you do when someone wants to thank you? Thank you. Or give a gift. Or make some good food for him. But the Americans are 'pro' in this case. They celebrate a different festival. Thanksgiving Day. This is one of America's biggest festivals. The importance of Thanksgiving Day there is no less than Christmas. Every year November falls on the fourth Thursday of the month. This year i.e. 25th November in 2021. Let's talk about the same festival today.


First Thanksgiving


1541, Florida, USA. Francisco Wasquez de Coronado, a stroller from Spain, arrived in the U.S. by sea in 1540. He came with about 1,500 of his companions. Why did you come? Because Francisco had learnt that there was a lot of gold buried near the sea somewhere in the U.S. So became 'Captain Jack Sparrow' and took the army out. If the treasury was not found in Mexico, the next year, that is, in 1541, the army traveled to Florida. These nomads were of a fun mood. The tent stem in Florida was so decided that a feast was made. Why the feast? Just like that, thanks to the one above. There was a feast. The day was named to commemorate – Thanksgiving Day.


This is the most popular story about the beginning of Thanksgiving. There are more stories. It also says that Thanksgiving Day began in 1621. Refugees from England planted their crops on this day. Thanksgiving Day was celebrated on this day to thank Anna, The Earth.


Festival time


Thanksgiving Day is a government holiday all over the Us. The long festive season at the end of the year is believed to begin on the same day in the United States, which lasts until the New Year. The festival is celebrated not only in the Us, but also in Canada, the Philippines, St. Lucia and the Netherlands. The holiday on Thanksgiving Day was started by George Washington in 1789. He was the one who had fixed a day for it - the fourth Thursday of November.


About Thanksgiving Turkey


Just above, there is another story related to the Thanksgiving Day of 1621. It was decided to serve turkey by setting a different menu for the water. Turkey means a large duck-like bird, which is mainly found in North and South America. I haven't eaten, but 'foodies' on the Internet say it's delicious. Since 1621 Turkey has become thanksgiving day's favorite food. Like curd-vada on Diwali. Let's say there's no rule, but it'll definitely happen.
