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.
加拿大感恩节的由来
加拿大感恩节的庆祝活动是在10月的第二个星期一。与美国人缅怀清教徒先辈定居新大陆的传统不同，加拿大人主要感谢上天给予的成功的收获。加拿大的感恩节早于美国的感恩节，一个简单的事实是，加拿大的收获季节相对于美国早一些，因为加拿大更靠近北部。加拿大的`感恩节通常被认为受三个传统习惯的影响。
其一是来自欧洲传统的影响。从大约2000年以前最早的一次收获开始，人们就已经庆祝丰收，感谢富饶的大自然给予他们的恩施和好运。当欧洲人来到加拿大后，也将这一传统带入加拿大，并对后来加拿大感恩节的传统产生影响。
其二是英国探险家庆祝生存的影响。在清教徒登陆美国马萨诸塞的40年之前，加拿大就举行了第一个正式的感恩节。在1578年，一位英国探险家命名马钉法贝瑟(Martin Frobisher)试图发现一个连接东方的通道，不过他没有成功。但是他在现今的加拿大纽芬兰省建立了定居点，并举行了一个庆祝生存和收获的宴餐。其它后来的移居者继续这些“感恩”仪式。这一次被认为是加拿大的第一个感恩节。
其三的影响来自于后来的美国。1621年的秋天，远涉重洋来到美洲新大陆的英国移民，为了感谢上帝赐予的丰收，举行了3天的狂欢活动。从此，这一习俗就沿续下来，并逐渐风行各地。在美国革命其间，美国一批忠于英皇室的保皇党迁移到加拿大，也将美国感恩节的习惯和方式带到了加拿大。1750年庆祝丰收的活动被来自美国南部的移居者带到了新四科舍(Nova Scotia)，同时，法国移居者到达，并且举行“感恩”宴餐。这些均对加拿大的感恩节产生了深远的影响。
1879 年加拿大议会宣称11月6日是感恩节和全国性的假日。在随后的年代，感恩节的日期改变了多次，直到在1957 年1月31日，加拿大议会宣布每年10月的第二个星期一为感恩节，在这一天感谢万能的上帝保佑加拿大并给予丰富的收获。
