The pilgrims came across the sea.

And never thought of you and me.

And yet it’s very strange the way

We think of them Thanksgiving Day.

We tell the story old and true

Of how they sailed across the blue,

And found a new land to be free

And build their homes quite near the sea.

Every child know well the tale

Of how they bravely turned the sails

And journeyed many days and nights,

To worship God as they thought right.

1) Thanksgiving Day is on the fourth Thursday in November.

2) Thanksgiving started over 380 years ago with Pilgrims. The Pilgrims who sailed to America were originally members of the English Separatist Church. They wanted to escape religious persecution.

3) In the hope of a better life, they decided to move out to America. They sailed to a new continent on board the ship «Mayflower»

4) The Pilgrims reached Plymouth in 1620. There, they had a terrible winter. Many of them died. But the harvest of the next year was very good. And the remaining colonists decided to make a party.

5) They also invited Indians who had helped the Pilgrims survive their first year. The Indians taught the Pilgrims to plant corn. The feast lasted three days. Wild turkey and corn were part of their feast.

6) Now Thanksgiving is a national holiday. People are with their families and friends to give thanks for the good things in their lives. The families come together for a special dinner.

7) Thanksgiving Parade is an important tradition. It was first held in the year 1924. The Parade is famously known for its policy of going on under any circumstance or condition; be it rain or shine.

8) Cornucopia is the most common symbol of a harvest festival.

9) Cranberry is a symbol of thanksgiving. Pilgrims found out a way to sweeten the bitten cranberries with maple sugar. Since that time cranberry sauce is a permanent companion of turkey during thanksgiving feast.

10) Native Americans taught the pilgrims to grow corns, potatoes, beans. That’s why they became symbols of Thanksgiving, too.

11) On Thanksgiving Day people decorate their homes with wreaths, fresh and dried flowers.

12) More than four hundred years have passed, but Americans still celebrate this holiday exactly the way as the Pilgrims had done it. The whole family comes together this day. The celebration begins with dancing, joking and laughing. But the moment comes… and everybody sits down at the table and becomes serious.

13) In the centre of the table you can see a sheet of foil symbolizing the Atlantic ocean. In the middle of it there is a small ship. It remembers us about the ship «Mayflower», which was used by the Pilgrims. As the edge of the «ocean» there is a little stone with the date «1620» written on it. It symbolizes the rock, where more than 400 years ago the first settlers from Europe landed.

14. They also send pretty Thank You cards or beautiful Thanksgiving Day Gifts to people who had done something good for them.
