How Long Was The First Thanksgiving Celebration?

Thanksgiving is a yearly national holiday in the United States and Canada which celebrates the harvest and other blessings of the past year.

Colonists in New England and Canada regularly observed “thanksgivings,” days of prayer for such blessings as safe journeys, military victories, or abundant harvests. Americans model their holiday on a 1621 harvest feast shared between English colonists and the Wampanoag.
