  History and origin
  In 1620 more than one hundred people sailed across the Atlantic ocean to settle in the New World. They left their old country England because they couldn’t pray the way they wanted. The people were called Pilgrims.The Pilgrims sailed to America from Plymouth, England, in September 1620.

  Their were people living in America before the pilgrims arrived. These people were the Native American Indians. The Indians began settling in America about 25,000 years ago. They hunted, fished and farmed to survive.There were many regional groups, or tribes, each had its own customs and beliefs.

  The Pilgrims’ first winter in the New World was difficult. They had arrived too late to grow any crops. Without fresh food half of the Pilgrims died. The following spring the Indians taught the Pilgrims how to hunt, fish, plant and survive in America. The crops did well, and in the fall of 1621 the Pilgrims had a great harvest. They were thankful and decided to celebrate it with a Thanksgiving feast.

  The first Thanksgiving lasted three days. Governor Bradford sent men to the forest to bring wild turkeys, geese, ducks. The Pilgrims invited the chief of the Wampanoag tribe, Massasoit, and 90 of his braves. The Indians brought five deer. Thy prepared dinner of meat, seafood, vegetables, wild fruits, corn. There was popcorn too! The work for preparing the feast – for 91 Indians and 56 settlers – fell to only 4 Pilgrim women and 2 teenage girls.

  The militia under the leadership of Captain Myles Standish drilled and fired their muskets and cannon to entertain their guests, and in turn the Wampanoag delighted their hosts with demonstrations of their traditional dances. The men also competed in jumping, running and other athletic contests. And after the Indians displayed their accuracy with bow and arrow, the Pilgrim soldiers took part in a parade and exhibited their skills in shooting.The women and girls spent most of their time cooking and serving.

  Sweet-sour cranberry sauce, or cranberry jelly, was on the first Thanksgiving table and is still served today. The cranberry is a small, sour berry. It grows in bogs, or muddy areas, in Massachusetts and other New England states. The Indians used the fruit to treat infections. They used the juice to dye their rugs and blankets. They taught the colonists how to cook the berries with sweetener and water to make a sauce. The Indians called it "ibimi" which means "bitter berry." When the colonists saw it, they named it "crane-berry" because the flowers of the berry bent the stalk over, and it resembled the long-necked bird called a crane. The berries are still grown in New England. Very few people know, however, that before the berries are put in bags to be sent to the rest of the country, each individual berry must bounce at least four inches high to make sure they are not too ripe!

  All Things Bright and Beautiful
  
  
  Refrain:
  All things bright and beautiful,
  All creatures great and small,
  All things wise and wonderful:
  The Lord God made them all.
  Each little flower that opens,
  Each little bird that sings,
  God made their glowing colors,
  And made their tiny wings.
  (Refrain)
  
  The purple-headed mountains,
  The river running by,
  The sunset and the morning
  That brightens up the sky.
  (Refrain)
  The cold wind in the winter,
  The pleasant summer sun,
  The ripe fruits in the garden:
  God made them every one.
  (Refrain)
  
  God gave us eyes to see them,
  And lips that we might tell
  How great is God Almighty,
  Who has made all things well.
  (Refrain)

  Faith of Our Fathers
  
  
  Faith of our fathers! living still
  O how our hearts beat high with joy
  In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword;
  When e're we hear that glorious word!
  Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
  We will be true to thee till death.
  
  
  Faith of our fathers! we will strive
  To win all nations unto thee;
  And through the truth that comes from God
  Mankind shall then be truly free.
  Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
  We will be true to thee till death.
  
  
  Faith of our fathers! we will love
  Both friend and foe in all our strife;
  And preach thee, too, as love knows how
  By kindly words and virtuous life
  Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
  We will be true to thee till death.
  Lyrics Frederick W. Farber, 1814-1863
  Music: Henry F. Hemy, 1818-1888
