 Thanksgiving Day

Prayers of thanksgiving and special Thanksgiving ceremonies are common

among almost all cultures after harvests and at other times. Its history in North
America has as its origin the North American traditions that date back to the
Protestant Reformation. It also has aspects of a harvest festival, although the
harvest in New England occurs long before the end of November, when
Thanksgiving is celebrated. In English tradition, Thanksgiving and special
religious services of thanksgiving to God became important during the Anglican
Reformation, in the reign of Henry VIII.

in reaction to the large number of religious festivals on the Catholic calendar.

Before 1536, there were 95 church holidays, plus 52 Sundays, on which people
had to attend church and give up work, and sometimes pay for expensive
celebrations. The reforms of 1536 reduced the number of Church festivals to 27,
but some Puritans wished to completely eliminate all church festivals, including
Christmas and Easter.

The holidays would be replaced by specially called days of fasting or days of

thanksgiving, in response to events that the Puritans regarded as acts of divine
providence. Unexpected disasters or threats of divine judgment required days of
fasting. Special blessings, seen as coming from God, required days of giving
thanks. For example, the days of fasting were named after the drought in 1611,
the floods in 1613, and the plagues of 1604 and 1622. he days of giving thanks
were named after the victory over the Spanish armada in 1588 and after the
release of Queen Anne in 1705.

During his last voyage to these regions in 1509, Frobisher held a formal
ceremony in present-day Frobisher Bay, Baffin Island (present-day Nunavut) to
thank God; Later, they celebrated communion in a service conducted by Minister
Robert Wolfall, the first religious service of its kind in the region. Years later, the
tradition of the festival continued as more inhabitants arrived in the colonies. in
