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.

In the year of 1620 on a cold December day a hundred and two pilgrims sailed into Plymouth Bay. Still wary from their voyage - still gacing winters chill - they kept their sights on freedom with courage, work, and will. Pilgrims did not stop to think of riches, fame, or glory while bravely playing starring roles in our new nations story.

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.

The pilgrims met native Americans and were very scared. But it was a friendly tribe.

Squanto Learned English as a slave in Europe Taught Pilgrims how to grow corn and pumpkins. Taught Pilgrims how to hunt turkeys.

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.

Thanksgiving symbols

Cornucopia is the most common symbol of a harvest festival.

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.

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