The Origins And Delicious History Of Thanksgiving Celebrations
All throughout history of mankind, the celebration of a bountiful and abundant harvest has always been a yearly happening. Harvest festivals have been made a tradition amongst all races, cultures and nations. And long before organized religion came to be, the Greeks, Chinese, Hebrews, Romans and Egyptians have all had their own harvest celebrations.
And in America, the very first Thanksgiving celebration occurred in 1621. Sans the help of the Native Americans, the explorers would not have yielded plentiful crops nor would they have survived their earliest winters. These Native Americans shared and contributed to this occasion with the Pilgrims since the latter had learned how to hunt wild animals and how to plant crops in the New World according to Native American cultures.
