[QUOTE="SaskiaKC, post: 1894395, member: 487111"] I think you're right about the Harvest festivals in England. I started reading about them in Miss Read's village novels, and I started wondering then if the first American Thanksgiving was the Pilgrims continuing the Harvest Festival tradition they had known back in England. In America kids are taught it almost as if it were an invention of the Pilgrims, a first, but like you I think it's the Harvest Festival given a new name. Especially since at Thanksgiving church services here we sing Harvest hymns that are also in the C of E hymnal; and since the Pilgrims held their Thanksgiving feast in November, after the harvest, and not in the spring after surviving their first New England winter.
