Кожного року в ос­ танній четвер листопа­ да американці відзна­ чають велике всенарод­ не свято—День Подяки. У цей день в Божих храмах усіх віровиз­ нань відправляють Бо- ' гослуження. Народ дя­ кує Всевишньому за всі ласки й благодаті, які Бог послав Америці. Зокрема люди дякують Богові за те, що дозволив щасливо закінчити жнива й зібрати всі земні плоди. У цей день при багато заставленому столі засідає вся родина^іцоїгспільно спожити дари Божі. Перед їх спожиттям усі моляться й дякують Богові за його ласку, доброту й опі­ ку. Улюбленою стравою на День Подяки є печений індик. Він став символом цього - свята.

Перший День Подяки відбувся в грудні 1621-го року. Його святкували американські паломники, перші поселенці, що прибули з Англії до Нового Світу. Після свого при­ їзду кораблем „Мейфлауер" до місцевости Плимут у Массачусетс в грудні 1620-го ро­ ку, паломники мали дуже тяжке життя. Зима була сувора. Поселенці не мали ані хат, ані одягу, ані харчів, ані ліків. Багато з них повмирали. З весною вони почали управля­ ти поле. Допомагали їм у тому індіяни, які прихильно ставилися до новоприбулих. Два індіяни-Самосет і Скванто, що вміли говорити по-англійськи, навчили колоніс­ тів полювати, ловити рибу та засівати зерно. Рік був урожайний. Були гарні жнива і восени поселенці зібрали багаті плоди. З великої радости вони вирішили величаво від- святкувани День Подяки Богові за його ласку. При багато заставлених різними стра­ вами столах засіли спільно пілґрими й індіяни, які принесли на свято диких індиків. Після молитви й обіду відбулися перегони в бігу, ігри й забави. Свято тривало кілька днів.

З того часу кожного року американський народ святкує День Подяки. Український народ на рідній землі також відзначає день подяки. Це—обжинки, що їх святкують українські хлібороби після закінчення жнив. Молодь і старші, одягнені святково, несуть вінки з колосся і квітів, співають обрядових пісень і вітають господа­ thanksgiving рів із щасливим закінченням збору плодів. Господарі приймають вітальників, гостять if їх, і всі весело забавляються при звуках сільської музики. У церквах посвячують овочі.
