BackgroundBackgroundIn the early 17th century, the Pilgrims
came from England to the “New World” to look for religious freedom and all that other good stuff.
Their ship, the May Flower, landed in Massachusetts after a really long journey at sea.
The Pilgrim didn’t expect such a harsh weather in their dream land. Only half of them survived the first winter.
The First ThanksgivingThe First ThanksgivingWhen summer came, the Pilgrims
had a big harvest with some help from the Indians.
At the end of their first year, the Pilgrims held a big feast with the Indians to give thanks to God.
They ate corn, pumpkin, squash, and meat, most of which were the things they grow from their harvest.
Spirit of ThanksgivingSpirit of ThanksgivingThe original purpose of
celebrating Thanksgiving Day is to give thanks to God, and to share with your friends and family what you’ve got.
