Why is Thanksgiving celebrated?

Every year Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. This year was celebrated on November 28.

This festival comes after Halloween but before Christmas celebrations. This is the holiday when family and friends get together to celebrate, eat traditional food, and give thanks for all that they have.

Its origins are traced back to 1941, when Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was president at the time, popularised this practice to guarantee its uniformity and consistency. He suggested that Thanksgiving Day be observed on the third Thursday of November each year, but because of irregularities in the date, it was eventually changed to the fourth Thursday of November.

Thanksgiving is at the heart of America’s spirit of gratitude — of finding light in times of both joy and strife. The Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving to honor a successful harvest, made possible by generosity and kindness. Native Americans who gathered for a historic harvest feast.

This custom has been carried down through the generations, contributing to cultural preservation and creating a feeling of connection. Many people use it as a time for introspection, meditation, and spiritual development.
