The origin of Thanksgiving On the last Tuesday in November is Thanksgiving Day. Now let me introduce the origin of Thanksgiving. In the early 17th century ,a group known as the Separatists lived in England.They were people who wanted to worship God,but the laws did not allow them to worship as they desired.So they leave England to Holland to desired the freedom of religion. The Pilgrims lived in Holland for 12 years,Because they couldn't stand the hard life and new religion free.In 1620,the Mayflower took over 100 passenger to carry them across the Atlantic to new land in America. After they arrived American,in the first winter they lived hard.But then the good-hearted Indian had sent the daily necessity to the immigration. The Pilgrims had stipulated thanks God's day.and decided to thank Indian's sincere help.So they prepared plenty food in a three-day celebration with Native American friends. Today we continue the celebration of the Pilgrims and the Native Americans,and call it Thanksgiving. - 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/9a5ccf14482fb4daa58d4b38.html
