Transcript: Fun Facts How Thanksgiving Began Thanksgiving and Religion An interesting fact is that Thanksgiving is not a official religious holiday. The First Amendment prevents Congress from having a religion or prohibiting its free exercise, Presidents, as well as Congress, have always recognized the American regard for sacred practices and beliefs. The Pilgrims, with the rejection of public religious display, held a non-religious Thanksgiving feast, aside from saying grace. In fact, they seem to have used the three days for feasting, playing games, and enjoying each other's company. Thanksgiving Resources What it is, Where it came from, And how it started The word "thanksgiving"- the act of giving thanks,a prayer expressing gratitude, and or a public acknowledgment or celebration of divine goodness. On the third Thursday of November, millions of families will celebrate Thanksgiving with roasted turkey and other delicious food but in early America Thanksgiving was not always about he food. President George Washington proclaimed Thanksgiving to be a day of “public thanksgiving and prayer.” Thanksgiving is meant to be a day to reflect on all the things we can be thankful for. Before the colonists came to America, the Indian colonies celebrated good harvests with dances and rituals, such as the Green Corn Dance of the Cherokees. The early American colonists celebrated their long journey from England to America with a feast, with the Wampanoag Indians. They had a large feast and showed thanks for the success of their crops and for being deliveredthe journey to America. http://www.thelaboroflove.com/articles/how-did-thanksgiving-originate http://www.si.edu/Encyclopedia_SI/nmah/thanks.htm http://blog.heritage.org/2011/11/23/the-true-meaning-of-thanksgiving/ http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/thanksgiving http://christianity.about.com/od/holidaytips/a/thanksgivingtra.htm The Meaning of Thanksgiving Popular traditions- Football is an important part of many Thanksgiving Day celebrations in the United States.
