What is Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is a special holiday where families

and friends get together to celebrate the things they are thankful for in their lives. It is a federal holiday, so schools, banks, post offices, and government offices are closed. It is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November.

Page 5: Thanksgiving

The Pilgrims Come to America To be able to understand the story of

Thanksgiving and why we celebrate it, you need to know how and why the Pilgrims came to North America.

Page 6: Thanksgiving

Who were the Pilgrims? A long time ago, the King of England said that everyone

had to go to the church that he wanted them to go to. Some of the people didn’t want to go to the King’s church because they had another church they liked better. They believed that it was unfair that the King was telling them what to do, so they decided to get away from England and go to another country.

Page 7: Thanksgiving

Voyage to America They got on a big ship called the Mayflower with food,

rifles, and tools to build. They decided to go to another country to start a new life where they could have religious freedom. They were called the Pilgrims. They arrived in North America in 1621.

History of Thanksgiving The first Thanksgiving

was in 1621 when the Pilgrims invited the Native Americans to a three-day feast to celebrate the autumn harvest.

The Pilgrims and the Wampanoag also used this holiday to thank God for what they had in their lives.
