In our days people in America still celebrate Thanksgiving day, mentally thank the God and that indians and eat turkey as a traditional meal on this day.
День Благодарения - национальный американский праздник. Он берёт начало с давних пор. Если я не ошибаюсь, когда первые колонии стали заселять Америку, у них совсем не было еды и, возможно, они бы умерли от голода. Если бы не индейцы, которые дали им еду. Принято считать, что первая еда, которую получили люди - это индейка, кукуруза, тыква и кленовый сироп.
В наши дни люди в Америке до сих пор празднуют День Благодарения, мысленно воздают благодарность Богу и тем индейцам и едят индейку в качестве традиционного блюда в этот день.
