THANKSGIVING DAY

        Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated primanily in the United States and Canada. Several other places around the world observe similar celebrations. It is celebrated on  the fourth Thursday of October in Canada. Thankdgivind day has its historical roots in religious traditions.
        In 1960, a boat filled with more than one hundred people sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to settle in the New World. This religious group had begun to question the beliefs of the Church of England and they wanted to separate from it. Their first winter in the New World was difficult. They had arrived too late to grow many crops, and without fresh food, half the colony died from disease. The following spring, the Iroquois Indians taught them how to grow corn, a new food for the colonists.
        In the autumn of 1621, bountiful crops of corn, borley, beans and pumpkins were harvested. The colonists had much to thankful for, so a feast was planned.
       The Indians brought deer to roast with the turkeys and other wild game offered by the colonists. The colonists had learned how to cook cranberries and different kinds of corn and squash dishes from the Indians.
       In following years, many of the original colonists celebrated the auntumn with a feast of thanks. After United States became an independent country, Congress recommended one yearly day of thanksgiving for the whole nation to celebrate.
