on the fourth Thursday of November to commemorate

God
for it and for good health. In the U.S.A. the day includes commemoration
of the feast held at Plymouth in 1621 A.D.

and members of the Wampanoag
people. Pilgrims were those who left England to get away from the Church

Comprised with.Encyclopedia
Britannica:.The
Mayflower
was the name of the ship that carried the Pilgrims from England to Plymouth,
Massachusetts, where they established the first permanent colony in 1620
at Plymouth Bay, 37 miles (60 km) southeast of Boston. Although no detailed
description of the original vessel exists, marine archaeologists estimate
that the square rigged sailing ship weighed about 180 tons
and measured 90 feet (27 metres) long.
Plymouth's Thanksgiving
began with a few colonists going out looking
for turkeys, geese and ducks.
90 or so Wampanoag made a surprise appearance at the settlement's gate,
doubtlessly unnerving the 50 or so colonists. Nevertheless, over the next
few days the two groups socialized without incident. The Wampanoag contributed
venison
to the feast, fowl and probably stews, vegetables fish and beer. Since
Plymouth had few buildings and manufactured goods, most people ate outside
while sitting on the ground or on barrels with plates on their laps.
