These were the pilgrims who landed on the Plymouth Rock on December in the year 1620. The pilgrims managed to keep aside food to survive in the biting winter. Consequent to this in the year 1621 they had abundant harvest. It was at this time that they save even more for the winter season. The pilgrims believed that it was god who had given them this harvest. So in order to thank god they held their first Thanksgiving feast. This feast was later on considered to be the First Thanksgiving. The people gradually began celebrating this every year and considered it to be an essential part of their tradition.
