...which was over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren. Nehemiah 12:8
"The celebration that we now regard as the 'First Thanksgiving' was the Pilgrims' 3-day feast celebrated in November of 1621.
Bradford helped organize the celebration.
This feast was a celebration for their first rich harvest as well as a way to thank the local Indians who helped teach them important survival skills.
The first Thanksgiving started a tradition of giving thanks for good harvests and good health through feasting sometime during the fall season." SC
