我只是说感恩节是美国的，不是仅仅来自于五月花。

Thanksgiving是英国基督教的一个习俗，早于五月花的Virginia Jamestown就有庆祝，而且也不一定是秋收以后。五月花的Thanksgiving被赋予了过多的神话色彩。哄小孩可以，但是成年人不要以讹传讹。

The annual Thanksgiving holiday tradition in the United States is documented for the first time in 1619, in what is now called the Commonwealth of Virginia. Thirty-eight English settlers aboard the ship Margaret arrived by way of the James River at Berkeley Hundred in Charles City County, Virginia on December 4, 1619. The landing was immediately followed by a religious celebration, specifically dictated by the group's charter from the London Company.

...

The more familiar Thanksgiving precedent is traced to the Pilgrims and Puritans who emigrated from England in the 1620s and 1630s. They brought their previous tradition of Days of Fasting and Days of Thanksgiving with them to New England. The 1621 Plymouth, Massachusetts thanksgiving was prompted by a good harvest.

• 普利茅斯感恩活动半点不虚，哪来的以讹传讹？为何你得出这结论，你看的书一定对？即便你看的书里，也并未否认感恩节来源事实吧。 -守月- ♀ (60 bytes) () 11/24/2022 postreply 20:18:08
