The origin of Thanksgiving Day in Canada
The celebration of Thanksgiving Day in Canada is on the second Monday in October. With Americans to remember the traditions of the new world, the people of the new world, Canadians are mainly thanks to the success of the harvest. Canada's Thanksgiving Day, a simple fact, is a simple fact of the harvest season in Canada as a little earlier than the United States, as Canada is closer to the north. Thanksgiving Day in Canada is generally considered to be influenced by three traditional habits.
One is the influence of European tradition. From the beginning of the first harvest of 2000 years ago, people have celebrated the harvest, thanks to the rich nature of the Enshi and good luck to give them. When the Europeans came to Canada, it also brought the tradition to Canada, and it had an impact on the traditional Canadian Thanksgiving Day.
Second is the impact of the British explorers to celebrate the survival. Canada held its first official Thanksgiving in 40 years before the pilgrims landed in America. In 1578, a British explorer named Ma Fabesse (Frobisher Martin) tried to find a connection to the east of the channel, but he did not succeed. But he founded a settlement in the Canadian province of Newfoundland, and held a celebration of the feast of harvest and survival. Other subsequent settlers continued these "thanksgiving" ceremonies. This time, it was considered the first Thanksgiving Day in Canada.
Its impact comes from the United States later. In the autumn of 1621, Toshibu Shigeyo came to the new world of British immigrants, in order to thank God for the harvest, held 3 days of Carnival activities. From then on, this custom has become popular all over the world. During the American Revolution in the meantime, the United States a number of loyal to loyalist of the British royal family migrated to Canada, will also be habit and way of Thanksgiving Day in the United States to Canada. 1750 to celebrate the harvest is from southern United States settlers to Nova Scotia. At the same time, French settlers arrived, and held a feast of Thanksgiving. All of these have a profound impact on the Thanksgiving Day in Canada.
1879 Canada's parliament declared November 6th Thanksgiving Day and national holiday. In the ensuing years, the date of Thanksgiving changed many times, until in January 31, 1957, the Canadian Parliament announced the second Monday of October as Thanksgiving Day, Thanksgiving Day in this day, thank God Almighty God bless Canada and give a rich harvest.
加拿大感恩節(jié)的由來
加拿大感恩節(jié)的慶�；顒�(dòng)是在10月的第二個(gè)星期一。與美國(guó)人緬懷清教徒先輩定居新大陸的傳統(tǒng)不同，加拿大人主要感謝上天給予的成功的收獲。加拿大的感恩節(jié)早于美國(guó)的感恩節(jié)，一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的事實(shí)是，加拿大的收獲季節(jié)相對(duì)于美國(guó)早一些，因?yàn)榧幽么蟾拷辈�。加拿大的感恩�?jié)通常被認(rèn)為受三個(gè)傳統(tǒng)習(xí)慣的影響。
其一是來自歐洲傳統(tǒng)的影響。從大約2000年以前最早的一次收獲開始，人們就已經(jīng)慶祝豐收，感謝富饒的大自然給予他們的恩施和好運(yùn)。當(dāng)歐洲人來到加拿大后，也將這一傳統(tǒng)帶入加拿大，并對(duì)后來加拿大感恩節(jié)的傳統(tǒng)產(chǎn)生影響。
其二是英國(guó)探險(xiǎn)家慶祝生存的影響。在清教徒登陸美國(guó)馬薩諸塞的40年之前，加拿大就舉行了第一個(gè)正式的感恩節(jié)。在1578年，一位英國(guó)探險(xiǎn)家命名馬釘法貝瑟(Martin Frobisher)試圖發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)連接?xùn)|方的通道，不過他沒有成功。但是他在現(xiàn)今的加拿大紐芬蘭省建立了定居點(diǎn)，并舉行了一個(gè)慶祝生存和收獲的宴餐。其它后來的移居者繼續(xù)這些“感恩”儀式。這一次被認(rèn)為是加拿大的第一個(gè)感恩節(jié)。
其三的影響來自于后來的美國(guó)。1621年的秋天，遠(yuǎn)涉重洋來到美洲新大陸的英國(guó)移民，為了感謝上帝賜予的豐收，舉行了3天的狂歡活動(dòng)。從此，這一習(xí)俗就沿續(xù)下來，并逐漸風(fēng)行各地。在美國(guó)革命其間，美國(guó)一批忠于英皇室的保皇黨遷移到加拿大，也將美國(guó)感恩節(jié)的習(xí)慣和方式帶到了加拿大。1750年慶祝豐收的活動(dòng)被來自美國(guó)南部的移居者帶到了新四科舍(Nova Scotia)，同時(shí)，法國(guó)移居者到達(dá)，并且舉行“感恩”宴餐。這些均對(duì)加拿大的感恩節(jié)產(chǎn)生了深遠(yuǎn)的影響。
1879 年加拿大議會(huì)宣稱11月6日是感恩節(jié)和全國(guó)性的假日。在隨后的年代，感恩節(jié)的日期改變了多次，直到在1957 年1月31日，加拿大議會(huì)宣布每年10月的第二個(gè)星期一為感恩節(jié)，在這一天感謝萬能的上帝保佑加拿大并給予豐富的收獲。
