The day when everybody give thanks to each other
Thanksgiving Day is one of the most loved and revered holidays in the USA and Canada.
This holiday has become more secular than religious in time.
It originates from the time of the English settlers and expresses people’s gratitude to God for the fruitfulness and the things obtained due to His generosity.
The English settlers learned from the Indians how to grow corn, pumpkin and other cultural plants, how to hunt and make their living throughout the year.
So they decided to organise for them a special holiday for thanksgiving to the Indian tribe Iroquois.
The table was piled with food.
This day was facetiously called Turkey day, because of this traditionally served dish.
And even now, the contemporary citizens of the USA and Canada put next to their master’s rocking chair pumpkins, maple leaves, gifts from the Earth and the nature.
