Yesterday, October 10, was Thanksgiving Day in Canada. This day is always celebrated on Monday of the second week of October, unlike the USA, which celebrates this date on Thursday of the fourth week of November. This is because the harvest in Canada starts earlier than in the United States, due to the colder climate.<\/p>

Thanksgiving Day in Canada originated in 1634 by the action of Englishman Martin Fobisher, who held a formal ceremony in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador to give thanks for surviving his long journey. This ceremony then began the tradition of Thanksgiving Day, which is a liturgical feast, corresponding to the UK’s harvest festival, with churches decorated with seasonal flowers, pumpkin. Corn, ears of wheat and hymns sung in English. Today, on Thanksgiving Day, one gives thanks for what one has and for the generosity of the previous year.<\/p>

Over the years, Thanksgiving Day has received some influences from the United States of America, with some customs and traditions. In the mid-19th century, the event became an annual one, based on the theme of a bountiful harvest.<\/p>

Nowadays, Thanksgiving Day in Canada is a public holiday and is celebrated as a family, where people take the opportunity to go for walks, go to the country house and do various family activities, such as fishing and hunting. Canadians eat their Thanksgiving meals any day of the week, not waiting for the holiday.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Thanksgiving at the market was a day-long Centennial party Saturday as patrons and farm producers turned Toronto's St. Lawrence Market into an old-time country fair in tribute to Canada's agricultural heritage. At gaily decorated stalls; hung with balloons; turkeys and harvest products; many farmers wore costumers of their native lands. Evening ended with bean supper and weiner roast.
