Thanksgiving is a national holiday celebrated
on various dates in the United States, Canada, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and
Liberia. It began as a day of giving thanks and sacrifice for the blessing of
the harvest and of
the preceding year. Similarly named festival holidays occur in Germany and
Japan. Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in
Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States and
around the same part of the year in other places. Although Thanksgiving has
historical roots in religious and cultural traditions, it has long been
celebrated as a secular holiday
as well.
