The whole family will gather around the table to pray for thanksgiving and enjoy turkey and other delicious meals together. This holiday was created by Americans. It was only after the independence of the United States that it was officially established as Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November every year. What is the origin of Thanksgiving?1. From the BibleIn the Old Testament of the Bible, Deuteronomy chapter 16, verses 13-17, the Feast of Tabernacles in Israel is recorded: "After you have gathered from your threshing floor and your winepress, you shall celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days. You, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites, the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow who are within your towns shall rejoice in it. You shall celebrate the Feast to the Lord your God for seven days at the place the Lord will choose, for the Lord your God will bless you in all your harvest and in all that you undertake, and he will fill you with joy. Three times a year, at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Tabernacles, all your males shall go to worship the Lord your God at the place the Lord will choose. They shall not appear before the Lord empty-handed, but each one shall bring his gift, according to his ability, as much as the Lord your God gives you." At that time, the Israelites were slaves in Egypt. Messiah was called by God and led 600,000 people out of Egypt. God's power led them to cross the Red Sea like dry land and avoid pursuers. However, because they only looked at the circumstances and forgot about God when faced with difficulties, the journey that could have been completed in just a dozen days took forty years. But God protected them, and their clothes did not wear out, their shoes did not tear, and they also provided food for forty years. During this period of time, they walked during the day and lived in tents at night, and finally entered the land of Canaan. A good harvest was obtained in the autumn of the first year after sowing the seeds. In order to thank God for saving them from slavery and for giving them a stable life and ample food and clothing, the Israelites observe the Feast of Tabernacles to express their gratitude until today. 2. Originated from the legend of the Mayflower In 1620, 102 British people boarded the "Mayflower". After 65 days of difficult voyage, they arrived at the American continent. They experienced a harsh winter, and only 53 people were left in the spring. With the help of the Indians, they planted in the spring, harvested in the autumn, and then celebrated this hard-earned harvest together. Thank God for keeping their lives alive and having a good harvest. |
