Like many families, we may not be able to attend celebrations, but we can still remember, virtually. This Thanksgiving, visit Plymouth 400 Educational Resources, at the official website of the US-based commemoration. Discover free materials such as “Dress Like a Pilgrim”, coloring pages, videos, and virtual museums.
I also recommend The American Minute, in The Self-Educated American, which states:
"Historian Jeremy Dupertuis Bangs explained how Pilgrims thank God:
“Our knowledge of the 1621 Thanksgiving comes from Winslow and Bradford.
“Winslow’s choice of words, understood by his contemporaries, implies to us that the Pilgrims gave thanks to God for their preservation and for the plenty that gave hope for the future.
“Winslow specifically tells us that the colonists sat down with their Native neighbors and enjoyed several days of peaceful rejoicing together. It is a history with potent symbolism, and it needs neither apology nor distortion …”
Bangs added:
“When Winslow described the Pilgrims’ intention, ‘after a more special manner to rejoice together, after we had gathered the fruit of our labors,’ he was alluding to John 4: 36 and to Psalm 33."
Happy Thanksgiving 2020, to you and yours!
