前言Introduction:
以下是麻萨诸塞州州长在1623年颁布的第一个感恩节公告，要求所有人在11月29日礼拜四上午9-12点到教堂参加感恩敬拜。那么，什么是感恩呢？~
The following is the
first Thanksgiving proclamation given by Massachusetts governor in
1623, requiring everyone to attend Thanksgiving service at church on
Thursday, 11/29, from 9-12 AM. So, what is Thanksgiving?

“Inasmuch
as the great Father has given us this year an abundant harvest of
Indian corn, wheat, peas, beans, squashes, and garden vegetables, and
has made the forests to abound with game and the sea with fish and
clams, and inasmuch as he has protected us from the ravages of the
savages, has spared us from pestilence and disease, has granted us
freedom to worship God according to the dictates of our own
conscience.

Now
I, your magistrate, do proclaim that all ye Pilgrims, with your wives
and ye little ones, do gather at ye meeting house, on ye hill,
between the hours of 9 and 12 in the day time, on Thursday, November
29th, of the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred and
twenty-three and the third year since ye Pilgrims landed on ye
Pilgrim Rock, there to listen to ye pastor and render thanksgiving to
ye Almighty God for all His blessings.

–William
Bradford
Ye Governor of Ye Colony”
