  感恩節(jié)在西方是最重要的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日之一

  每年11月的最后一個(gè)星期四,親朋好友們會(huì)團(tuán)聚在一起,

  圍坐在飯桌邊共享晚餐,一起祈禱上帝施與永不停息的恩惠。

  特別要提醒大家的是,Thanksgiving Day是美國(guó)人首創(chuàng)的,后來(lái)又延續(xù)到加拿大。它的由來(lái)可以追溯到美國(guó)的歷史,原意是為了感謝印第安人,人們也常在這一天感謝他人。

  美國(guó)林肯總統(tǒng)執(zhí)政期間宣布把每一年11月的第四個(gè)星期四定為Thanksgiving Day ,所以感恩節(jié)是地地道道的“美式節(jié)日”,在英屬國(guó)家是沒(méi)有的哦~
