History
Prayers of thanksgiving
ceremonies are common amongst all the religions during the time of harvests. The history
of Thanksgiving stretches the entire manner back to a time long before
America became a nation. During 1620, pilgrims came to settle down in the North
America. At times brutal conditions were faced by them which lead to death of
many people due to droughts. As the days moved on, they began to harvest the
corn successfully and in order to show their gratitude and thankfulness to God
they decided to celebrate the feast of Thanksgiving Day in the year 1621. In
the year 1789, President George Washington declared 26th November as
national thanks giving day. During the rule of Abraham Lincoln, he proclaimed “last
Thursday of November” as thanks giving day which everyone follows till today.
