Question

O Dia de Ação de Graças, conhecido em inglês como Thanksgiving Day, é um feriado celebrado, sobretudo nos Estados Unidos, no Canadá e nas ilhas do Caribe, observado como um dia de gratidão a Deus, com orações e festas, pelos bons acontecimentos ocorridos durante o ano. É, geralmente, um dia quando as pessoas usam seu tempo livre para estar com a família, fazendo grandes reuniões e jantares familiares.



Thanksgiving

In 1620, one of the first British settlements in America was established in Massachusetts. These settlers, known as Pilgrims, had come to America to freely practice their religion. They arrived in November, when it was too late to plant crops. Although many people died, the Pilgrim settlement survived the winter because of help from Indians who lived nearby. The Indians taught the Pilgrims about corn and showed them where to fish. The next November, after the crops were harvested, the Pilgrims gave thanks to God at a feast to which they invited the Indians.

Every year, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. Families and friends get together for a big feast. The meal usually includes roast turkey with stuffing and gravy, a sweet sauce made from cranberries, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie. What a meal! It’s not surprising that a recent Thanksgiving tradition is to sit after dinner in front of the TV watching a professional football game.
