Raeco Thanksgiving

Discover the true origins of Thanksgiving! Journey back to the autumn of 1621, when pilgrims and Native Americans joined together for a three-day feast celebrating a bountiful harvest. While this gathering marked the beginning of Thanksgiving, it wasn't yet an official holiday. Fast forward to 1863, when President Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving Day, solidifying its place in history. Since then, it has become a cherished tradition, celebrated every late November.
