THE FIRST THANKSGIVING DAY BLESSING MEMORY



On Thanksgiving Day, is the day every last Thursday of the month in November to commemorate celebration history of the first Thanksgiving in America. In 1621 the pilgrims sailed on the Mayflower to the origin place known as Plymouth Rock Massachusetts. They were poor with limited resources, torn clothes, hungry and displaced homes escaping the authoritarianism of European rule to the New World.


The pilgrims for many decades settled in present day America, working in the fields to grow crops taught by the Iroquois Native American tribes, that taught them the skills of survival. They became excellent friends, and great acquaintance which humility led them to start a new beginning of relations between nations in the New World. In 1693 the first Thanksgiving dinner was held that sat the Pilgrams and Native America tribes together, sharing their faith as one great spirit in life.


They blessed the food to signify their thanks for a year's round hard work collected during the harvest, thanking God for their blessings of fortunately more than they can expect. Many Pilgrams and Native Americans became sick with disease and hypothermia during the seasonal winter months of starvation; bad weather affected damages to the crop fields, and the workers didn't have many tools to work with building log cabins for shelter. So, every Thanksgiving Day, the food is blessed in memory of the first Thanksgiving Day dinner for the Pilgram and Native American ancestors, that sacrificed their labors for the festive ritual customs consistent their descendants still practice present today.
