The voyage of the Mayflower is import because the journey ultimately resulted in our first Thanksgiving
The 1620 voyage from England to America was more than 3,000 miles and beset by autumn storms.
Our national holiday really stems from the feast held in the autumn of 1621 by the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag to celebrate the colony's first successful harvest.
The English colonists we call Pilgrims celebrated days of thanksgiving as part of their religion. But these were days of prayer, not days of feasting.
Be thankful we have this day!!!!!
