The Christian History of Thanksgiving in America
The first recorded Christian Thanksgiving in America occurred in Texas on May 23, 1541 when Spanish explorer, Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, led 1,500 men in a thanksgiving celebration at the Palo Duro Canyon. Another early celebration of thanks took place on the banks of the James River in Virginia in 1619. But it was the Pilgrims’ three-day feast celebrated in early November of 1621, which most Americans now popularly regard as the “First Thanksgiving.”
Read about these and other celebrations of God’s providence, as well as the writings of the spiritual and governmental leaders who shaped the event we now celebrate each November in America.
