The Thanksgiving Day dates back to the 17th century.
On December 26, 1620, Pilgrim Fathers, a Britain puritanical group, arrived at Plymouth, Massachusetts in America. There were about 100 people in the group. The weather was so bitter and a lot of misfortunes happened to them. Therefore most of them died because of cold, hunger and disease. Survivors were only 50. They were taught hunt and agriculture by native American (Indian) and worked hard during the spring and summer. As a result, they succeeded. In harvest of fall, they gathered at a church and had dinner, being pleased the harvest, appreciating for god. Indian was invited to the dinner. They brought turkey and venison for rewards. And the puritancal group and Indian piled food like a mountain and kept singing hymn for three days.
This is the beginning of Thanksgiving Day.
