Thanksgiving Trivia Part 1
November 14, 2008 05:04:07 PM
Your local Insurance Agency, Keck Insurance, would like to provide you with a little Thanksgiving Trivia:
In the United States, Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the 4th Thursday in November. But did you know that 7 other nations also celebrate an official Thanksgiving Day? Those nations are Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Japan, Liberia, and Switzerland.
According to most historians, the Pilgrims never observed an annual Thansgiving feast in autumn. In the year 1621, they did celebrate a feast near Plymouth, Mass., following their first harvest. But this feast most people refer to as the first Thanksgiving was never repeated. Oddly enough, most devoutly religious pilgrims observed a day of thanksgiving with prayer and fasting, not feasting. Yet even though this harvest feast was never called Thanksgiving by the pilgrims of 1621, it has become the model for the traditional Thanksgiving celebrations in the U.S.
Have a Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving and keep an eye out for part 2 of our trivia next week!!
