Thanks to most people means the family and friends and Turkey, or maybe beer and football. Many do not know or even care about significence holidays. Back in 1600 a group of people who were members of the English Separatist Church (Puritan’s) in England, fled from their land to escape religious persecution. He boarded a ship and sailed to Holland in the Netherlands. In Holland the people enjoyed a short period of time free from religious persecution they faced back in England, but soon became frustrated with the morals of the Dutch peoples bad and what they considered sinful lifestyle.
You still need a better way of life, the Separatists made a deal with a limited liability company in London to finance a trip to America on a ship called Mayflower. There were others in England who were not separatists, in fact most that has made the trip on the Mayflower were not.
The group arrived in America December 11, 1620 and began to land in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The winter season’s first meeting with pilgrims in the United States has been horrible. With the extreme cold and snowstorms, which lost 46 of the 102 originals that came with the Mayflower. But the spring and summer of next year has been wonderful with pleasant days and Nice, and most pilgrims stay healthy. The local Indians showed them how and where to hunt and trap for the game available, and shared their secrets in the cultivation and conservation of native cultures. The harvest of 1621 was very generous and pilgrims along with the local Indians, who had helped them survive their first year, decided to have a big party to celebrate and give thanks.
The party or as commonly called “The First Thanksgiving took place probably outdoor tables and benches handmade, most people sat on blankets on the floor while eating, because the settlers are not aware that I have a building large enough to accommodate everyone.
In an original letter from a member of the colony, Edward Winslow, here is the real account of the first celebration of Thanksgiving:
“Our harvest was obtained, our governor sent four men on fowling, that so we can rejoice together after a special way, after harvesting the fruits of our work. The four deaths in one day the chicken over, and with little help beside, served the company almost a week. at which time, amongst other recreations, we exercised our arms, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and include mostly king Massasoit, with some ninety men, during entertaining and held three days, and went out and killed five deer, which led to the planting and as our governor and the captain and others. And although not always as abundant as it was this time with us, but God’s goodness We are so far from the need we often share our fate. ”
In a handwritten letter can be seen that an Indian chief or the king and 90 (total 91 from India) who were invited as guests attended the event along with the pilgrims, and the feast or celebration lasted three days. The celebration or feast was not repeated until 1623, when during a severe drought all people gathered and prayed for rain. The next day, a steady rain was long and Bradford proclaimed another day the Governor of Thanksgiving, and again the pilgrims or “settlers invited their Indian friends to celebrate.
The next Thanksgiving celebration did not occur until 1676, when the Governing Council of Charlestown, Massachusetts, held a meeting on the best way to celebrate and give thanks for the good fortune of their community had experienced. By voting, they instructed Edward Rawson, the clerk, to proclaim June 29 as a day of Thanksgiving.
Other dates that were important for the feast of Thanksgiving was in October 1777, when there was a Thanksgiving feast was celebrated by the 13 colonies had established. In 1789, George Washington proclaimed a national day of thanksgiving, and after a campaign of letter writing to the presidents and governors in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday of November as National Day of Thanksgiving.

If you’re imagining the Puritan pilgrims as black and white suit, which came on the Mayflower, you’re not alone. This is the image that comes to mind for most of us.
But lately, I’ve noticed a trend – that when we look hard enough, we are surrounded by pilgrims at work.
With pilgrim defined as “a person who travels” and “one who embarks on a search,” I would say that there are more of us pilgrims in the workplace of the 21st century than you think.
There is one in your office? Or maybe you are one?
With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy heavy, which could only be a pilgrim, when:
You seek change. Furthermore, it is to play it safe. The first settlers traveling on the Mayflower risked their lives for what they believed in what was not available where they were. Where was the freedom of religion. With some of my clients is better alignment with their personal values, or more opportunity to grow and make a difference.
It creates a greater vision. Packing for the arduous journey to the New World in 1620, I am sure friends of the pilgrims told all sorts of things so she would not go. “It ’s so far,” he said. “It ’s dangerous.” “Things will change here – just wait outside.” However, the pilgrims set off with a greater vision of their work and life – even if you never seen before.
They fight. The story says the Mayflower walked two miles per hour, a trip to the United States in about 65 days. (Today, they are upset when the pizza can not be reached within 30 minutes.) They could not light a fire – the ship was made of wood. No wonder the coast of Massachusetts first looked so good! They knew that their journey will be difficult and soul and body ready. Half of them died that first winter cold – but the other half continued to make history.
Find support. While it is debatable how each part voluntarily helped – or hurt – the other, it is clear that the pilgrims have learned to survive without people Wampanoag, Native American experts in agriculture, fishing and hunting. Today foreign pilgrims, including leaders, mentors, coaches and colleagues that aligns with their vision, pushed through the struggles, and keeps moving.
We celebrate. Is not that what the American holiday of Thanksgiving is all about, anyway? As a pilgrim of today, the original pilgrims have felt the need to take time and celebrate their hard work, successful partnership, and its results. It was called “harvest” – might be called a promotion, a new role, the best companies, or a better life. No matter what it is, is a cause for celebration.
