Does
any of this really matter?
As
long as one enjoys each holiday with 'love', why be concerned with the worry of
(What If)?
Every
one of our holidays started from violence and is now celebrated by putting
money into the pockets of the 'Rich'!
So
What (Just Think Love)!
Early
Origins of Halloween
Even though the
origins of Halloween, or All Hallow’s Eve, are often debated, many believe that
it began with Samhain, one of the major celebrations of the Ancient Celtic
people who lived throughout Europe, including present day England, Ireland, and
Scotland. Traditionally, Samhain was considered their New Year’s celebration
because it marked the end of the growing season and the beginning of winter. As
part of the celebrations, people would light fires, dress in animal costumes,
and tell each other’s fortunes. Over time, the holiday evolved and the Catholic
Church turned November 1, the original date of Samhain, into the religious
holiday of “All Saint’s Day” or “All Hallows”, making October 31 the date of
“All Hallow’s Eve”, or Halloween.
Thanksgiving
Day history
1619 –
On December 4th, a group of English settlers landed about 20 miles upstream
from Jamestown (the Colony of Virginia). Their charter required that a “day of
thanksgiving” be observed every year on the day of their arrival. After several
years, this site was abandoned.
1621 –
The Pilgrims of the Plymouth Colony celebrated a “harvest festival” with
Massasoit (Great Sachem) and the people of the Pokanoket tribe, one of the
tribes of the Wampanoag nation. Their feast consisted of waterfowl, wild
turkeys, fish, and deer as well as corn, squash, and beans which Native
Americans had taught the Pilgrims to cultivate.
Our Thanksgiving Day history shows this to be a time to
thank God for the many blessings bestowed upon us, our families, and our
country. We find these expressions of Thanksgiving in poems, prayers, Thanksgiving
Bible verses, and the Psalms
of Thanksgiving.
And
though many still focus on Thanksgiving in this way, it has also become a time
to have fun with parades, parties, and football games.
