THANKSGIVING
CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING AT RUTA DEL AZAFRAN
Thanksgiving is becoming an international party. It has its origin in American soil, where the fourth Thursday of November is celebrated. The tradition in the United States appears in 1621 when a group of settlers from Plymouth, present-day Massachusetts, shared a meal with the Wampanoag Indians to celebrate the autumn harvest and to thank them for teaching cultivation and hunting techniques. The Indians brought deer meat to be roasted and turkeys, while the colonists had learned how to cook the blueberries and prepared the different kinds of grain on tableware unknown to the natives.
This first Thanksgiving day of history lasted three days, and would be one of the few examples of harmony between European settlers and Native Americans.
However, it was not until 1863, in the middle of the Civil War, when President Abraham Lincon proclaimed Thanksgiving as a national holiday, which would be celebrated on the last Thursday of November.
