When are Halloween and Thanksgiving?
Halloween is in June 1 65438+1October1,and Thanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday of June165438+1October.

Halloween originated from the ancient Celtic New Year. At this time, it is also the time to worship the dead. While avoiding the interference of evil spirits, they also worship ancestors and kind gods with food and pray for peace through the severe winter. That night, children will put on makeup clothes and masks and collect candy from house to house.

The origin of Thanksgiving can be traced back to the beginning of American history. 1620, 102 Puritans who were dissatisfied with the persecution of English religion arrived in America on the ship Mayflower. After a long sea trip, they met with cold and hunger in winter. When spring came, only 50 immigrants survived.

Just as they were worried about their survival, the kind Indians sent them daily necessities and taught them to plant and hunt. With the help of Indians, the immigrants ushered in a bumper harvest and their lives became stable. The immigrants decided to thank God on the harvest day according to religious customs. More importantly, in order to thank the Indians for their help, they invited them to celebrate the festival.
