Thanksgiving Day

Japanese: 感謝祭 - かんしゃさい(英語表記)Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving Day

A holiday in the United States, celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It began as a celebration of the work of anti-Anglican Christians (the Pilgrim Fathers) who came to the New World from Europe, pioneered the wilderness, harvested their first crop, and gave thanks to God, laying the foundations for the founding of the nation. On this day, families eat roast turkey and pumpkin pie together.

Japanese:

アメリカ合衆国の祝祭日で、11月の第4木曜日。ヨーロッパからアメリカ新大陸に渡った反イングランド教会派のキリスト教徒たち(ピルグリム・ファーザーズ)が、荒野を開拓して初めての収穫を得、神に感謝したことを記念し、建国の基礎をつくった働きをたたえたことに始まる。この日は、シチメンチョウの丸焼きとカボチャのパイを、家族そろって食する。
