Thanksgiving in the United States is a national holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It is a significant and widely observed holiday, marked by various traditions and customs.

Historical Origin: The origin of Thanksgiving in the United States is often traced back to the autumn of 1621 when the Pilgrims, who were early European settlers in what is now Massachusetts, held a three-day feast to give thanks for a successful harvest and to express gratitude for their survival in the new land. They were joined by members of the Wampanoag Native American tribe, who had helped them adapt to their new environment and provided valuable assistance in farming and food production.

National Holiday: It wasn’t until the 19th century that Thanksgiving became a national holiday. In 1863, during the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed Thanksgiving as a national holiday, designating the last Thursday of November for the celebration. However, in 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved Thanksgiving one week earlier to the third Thursday to extend the holiday shopping season during the Great Depression. This change caused confusion and opposition, so in 1941, Congress officially established Thanksgiving as the fourth Thursday of November, where it remains today.

Modern-Day Celebrations: Modern-day Thanksgiving in the United States is a time for families and friends to come together for a festive meal, typically centered around a roasted turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and other traditional dishes. Pies, especially pumpkin pie, are popular desserts.

Halloween is a popular holiday celebrated on the evening of October 31st each year. It has its roots in ancient Celtic and Christian traditions and is observed in various countries, particularly in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

The history of Halloween dates back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. It was believed that on the night of October 31st, the boundary between the living world and the spirit world became thin, allowing spirits and ghosts to return to Earth. People lit bonfires and wore costumes to ward off these roaming spirits.

With the spread of Christianity, the celebration evolved into “All Hallows’ Eve” (later shortened to Halloween), which falls on the evening before All Saints’ Day, a Christian holiday to honor saints and martyrs. Some of the pagan customs were incorporated into this Christian observance.

Halloween provides an opportunity for people to embrace their creativity, enjoy the thrill of spookiness, and come together in a festive spirit. It’s a time when people of all ages can have fun and celebrate the playful and sometimes eerie aspects of the holiday.

You see a light switch and try to turn it on. Sadly the power is out. You are terrified but have no choice but to follow the long hallway to the three doors in pitch black. Behind one door is a bottomless pit with no end. Behind another door is an electric chair which you must sit in. Behind the last door is a pool full of acid. You must go into one of the rooms. Which one should you go through?
    Answer: The electric chair. Since the power is out, when you sit in the chair the electricity will have no effect on you.

Independence Day – About Independence Day

The history of Independence Day in the United States goes back to the 18th century, when the American colonies were still part of the British Empire. Tensions had been rising between the colonists and the British government for many years, as the colonists chafed under British rule and sought greater autonomy and self-government.

In 1775, the American Revolution began, with the colonists fighting for their independence from Great Britain. Over the next year, the Continental Congress met to draft a declaration of independence, a formal statement announcing the separation of the colonies from Great Britain.

On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress voted to approve the resolution for independence, and two days later, on July 4, they adopted the Declaration of Independence. The document, written primarily by Thomas Jefferson, declared that the colonies were no longer subject to British rule, and that they were now “free and independent states.”

The first Independence Day was celebrated on July 4, 1777, with parades, patriotic speeches, and fireworks displays. The tradition of celebrating the holiday with fireworks has continued to this day, and it is now a hallmark of the holiday.

Over time, Independence Day has become an important national holiday in the United States, and it is celebrated with a variety of events and activities, including parades, concerts, barbecues, and family gatherings. It is a day for Americans to come together and celebrate their shared history and values, and to honor the sacrifices of those who fought for their independence and freedom.

Father’s Day Riddles – About Father’s Day

The history of Father’s Day can be traced back to the early 20th century, when a woman named Sonora Smart Dodd in Spokane, Washington, USA, proposed the idea of a holiday to celebrate fathers. Dodd’s own father, William Jackson Smart, a Civil War veteran, had raised her and her five siblings on his own after their mother died in childbirth. In 1909, while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon, Dodd came up with the idea of a day to honor fathers, like her own, who had shown great devotion to their families.

Dodd initially suggested that Father’s Day be celebrated on June 5, which was her father’s birthday, but the celebration was later moved to the third Sunday in June. The first Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in Spokane, Washington. It was marked by a church service, a parade, and the distribution of gifts to fathers, including roses and neckties.

The idea of a day to honor fathers quickly gained popularity, and it began to spread to other parts of the United States. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge expressed support for the idea of a national Father’s Day, but it wasn’t until 1966 that President Lyndon B. Johnson officially proclaimed the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day.

Since then, Father’s Day has become a widely celebrated holiday in the United States and in many other countries around the world. It is typically a day for children to show their appreciation for their fathers and father figures, through gifts, cards, and special activities. It is also a time for families to come together and celebrate the important role that fathers play in their lives.

In Western Christianity, which includes most of the countries in Europe and the Americas, as well as Australia and New Zealand, the date of Easter is determined as follows:

• Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon that occurs on or after the vernal equinox. The vernal equinox is the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, which usually falls on March 20 or 21.
• If the full moon falls on a Sunday, then Easter is celebrated on the following Sunday.
• The date of Easter can vary by as much as a month from year to year, and can fall on any Sunday between March 22 and April 25.
• The rules for determining the date of Easter were established by the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, and have been used by Western Christianity ever since.
• Eastern Christianity, which includes the Orthodox Church, uses a different method for determining the date of Easter, which is based on the Julian calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar used by Western Christianity.

In summary, the date of Easter is determined by a combination of astronomical observations and ecclesiastical rules that have been in place for over a thousand years.
