Prayers of gratitude and giving thanks are common practices among all people in all of the world’s cultures. Most frequently held after harvest thanksgiving ceremonies have frequently been celebrated at various times throughout human history.
Thanksgiving is a practice that has evolved over time, many of its roots pre-date written history. Throughout its known heritage a day of giving thanks always has aspects of harvest, as well as celebration. It is also a time of remembrance for what has been and what is to come. Honoring the cycle of life and its renewal through time is a key theme in every Thanksgiving celebration.
Practice Of Abundance
Most specially Thanksgiving is a practice of abundance. It is a day of sharing one’s bounty with others and through sharing one’s bounty your harvest is multiplied.
An example of this continuance of life though the practice of abundance in time can be found the tradition of “Thanksgiving Day” practiced by Americans which itself is rooted in English traditions dating back to the early 1500’s.
Thanksgiving Stories
The story of the “First Thanksgiving” day harvest celebration was the result of a group of Pilgrims, out game hunting. The story goes that the neighboring Wampanoag natives, hearing gunshots, thought the English might be preparing for war. The leader of the tribe, Massasoit, visited the Englishmen’s settlement and discovered that the English men were simply out game hunting for their harvest celebration.
To help them out, Massasoit, offered to send men from his own tribe to hunt and provide meat and deer for their feast. Of course, the Wampanoag were invited as guests to the harvest celebration. There were 90 Wampanoag tribe members and 53 Pilgrims at the “First Thanksgiving” day harvest celebration.
There are numerous stories about how the “First Thanksgiving” started in many of the world’s present day harvest celebrations.
Canada has two such popular “First Thanksgiving” day stories. The first recounts how, in 1578, the explorer Martin Frobisher held the first Thanksgiving celebration in Canada for surviving his long journey from England. He had undergone much hardship on his journey through the wilderness in his attempt to find a passageway to the Pacific ocean.
Another cites the origin of the Canadian “First Thanksgiving” to early French settlers who in the early 17th century arrived with the famous explorer Samuel de Champain in New France. The French settlers were reported to celebrate all successful harvests, typically at the end of the growing season.
The celebrations usually continued throughout the entire winter season. The French settlers were known for sharing their bountiful harvest with the local indigenous peoples of the region. This tradition of celebrating harvest and sharing your abundance with others continued and was adopted by all the new immigrants arriving in the country.
Each of these new arrivals, be they German, Irish, Scottish, or what have you, added their own traditions to the Thanksgiving feast, including the American turkey which arrived with the Loyalists who fled the United States during the American Revolution.
Until recently in more modern times Thanksgiving day has always been observed on various months and days throughout history even in the United States. Until the time of Lincoln, the date for observing Thanksgiving day always differed from state to state. So, historically anytime of harvest was seen as a good time for a Thanksgiving celebration and practicing abundance.
