In the United States, the modern Thanksgiving holiday tradition is
commonly, but not universally, traced to a poorly documented 1621
celebration at Plymouth in present-day Massachusetts. The 1621
Plymouth feast and thanksgiving was prompted by a good harvest.
Pilgrims and Puritans who began emigrating from England in the
1620s and 1630s carried the tradition of Days of Fasting and Days of
Thanksgiving with them to New England. Several days of
Thanksgiving were held in early New England history that have been
identified as the "First Thanksgiving", including Pilgrim holidays in
Plymouth in 1621 and 1623, and a Puritan holiday in Boston in 1631.
According to historian Jeremy Bangs, director of the Leiden American
Pilgrim Museum, the Pilgrims may have been influenced by watching
the annual services of Thanksgiving for the relief of the siege of
Leiden in 1574, while they were staying in Leiden.In later years,
religious thanksgiving services were declared by civil leaders such as
Governor Bradford, who planned a thanksgiving celebration and fast
in 1623. The practice of holding an annual harvest festival did not
become a regular affair in New England until the late 1660s.
