Thankfulness Traditionally, Thanksgiving is a religious holiday, as a time to give thanks to God for the blessings in one's life.

一开始小编以为感恩节是用来感谢朋友，家人一年内对自己的照顾，原来人家是来感谢上帝的啊！

For the Pilgrims, Thanksgiving was intended to be a religious holiday of fasting and prayer, but only turned to a feast after the rains came during one such period in 1623.

对于清教徒来说，感恩节是个虔诚的节日，在这段时间里人们禁食和祈祷。不过，1623年的那次感恩节下了场雨，于是节日内容转变成大快朵颐了。
