The origins of ThanksgivingIn the United States, the fourth Thursday of June November is a national Thanksgiving Day, which requires three days of vacation from this day. Even Americans who are far away from home will have to rush back to celebrate their families before the holiday. Americans pay more attention to Thanksgiving than the traditional grand holiday Christmas. Why is it Thanksgiving? Tracing, Thanksgiving Day is closely related to ancient American Indians, especially corn planting. In September 6, 1620, a group of British Qing had a hard time Enduring religious persecution and drove to the Americas by the May Flower Boat. They floated on the Atlantic for 65 days in the context of fatigue, hunger, cold and disease, and finally reached the North American colony's Plymouth. At that time, it was winter, and the climate was cold and the fields were lonely. Local Indians generously took out over-winter corn and potatoes and sent them to wild ducks and Turkey. Spring is coming. The Indians teach them how to plant corn and pumpkin and raise turkey. White immigrants have established close friendships with Indians. During this autumn's corn harvest, migrants held a big Thanksgiving meeting to entertain Indians with roast turkey and corn cakes. The Indians took a variety of corn products, roast turkey, pumpkin pie, wild grapes, corn liquor and so on to attend the party, people singing and dancing, cool. In the end of November after the corn harvest each year, white immigrants who settled here will hold Thanksgiving meetings, roast turkey at home, cook Corn Food, and entertain Indians. In the long run, this kind of gratitude will become a convention. However, the Thanksgiving Day was not fixed until 1863, when US President Lincoln declared that Thanksgiving Day was a national holiday and called on the people to work with each other to ensure the prosperity of the United States. To commemorate Thanksgiving Day, a huge monument to migrant pioneers was built on samot Street in Plymouth. Up to 10 meters of white statue of our ancestors, with a shawl and fingers, on the four marble float female described the story of the first batch of immigrants to Plymouth and the origins of Thanksgiving. Express gratitude is not exclusive to the United States, but the establishment of a day to express gratitude to God is the original of the American Jews. Today, the concept of gratitude has been passed to other countries. Canada and New Zealand also regard Thanksgiving Day as a formal national holiday. The spirit of gratitude originates from the Bible. The Bible reveals the truth that, through the only child of God, the Lord Jesus Christ can reconcile with God and enjoy peace. Now, we still want to express our gratitude for the blessings and blessings God has given us.

It is the responsibility of every country and individual to establish a spirit of relying on the power of God and the power of humility and regret. They hold a firm hope that sincere remorse will bring mercy and forgiveness; when they recognize a high truth which is declared in the Bible and proved by history, it is the blessing of the nation that worships God. We all know that, in accordance with the Holy Law of the Supreme, we should be punished and rectified, whether in the country or by ourselves. Do we not believe that the disaster of this civil war, which makes the land desolate and the loss of life, is a punishment for the sin of arrogance? As a country and nation, we repent before God. We have received rich blessings from heaven. We have enjoyed peace and prosperity for many years. Our growth in people, wealth, and national power is incomparable to any other country. However, we forget God. We forget that we have kept peace, that has allowed us to increase the number of people and give us wealth and strength. We are deceived by the falsehood in our hearts, think that all these blessings come from the wisdom and virtues of our own Superman. We are so intoxicated with continuous success and self-satisfied that we no longer pray to the God that created us. I think what we should do is: the people of the United States should acknowledge God's actions in one voice with a solemn, respectful, and grateful heart. Therefore, I urge every citizen from all over the United States, including those Americans living abroad, to celebrate the fourth Thursday of November as "Thanksgiving Day, praise our father of Mercy who lives in heaven.
