The Story of Thanksgiving
We have a lot to be grateful for, even if the stresses of daily life over shadow this truth at times. The feeling of gratitude while always healthy for us is given it’s own day in the United States, “Thanksgiving”, the 4th Thursday in November. My Canadian neighbors (I live in Canada during the summer months) celebrate Thanksgiving the second Monday in October. While the US celebrates the feast shared by the Pilgrims and Wampanoags in 1621, Canadian Thanksgiving is a feast that celebrates the safe return for British explorer, Arthur Frobisher and crew, from the search of the Northwest Passage in 1578. Though in Quebec it is sometimes traced to 17th century French settlers celebrating prosperous harvests. In Quebec it’s referred to “Action de Grace” or action of grace. In Mexico, Thanksgiving is less formal and less widespread but the name is appealing as well “Dia de Accion de Gracias”.
