Thanksgiving is a widely celebrated holiday in the United States, traditionally commemorated on the fourth Thursday in November. It is a time when families and friends come together to express gratitude for the blessings in their lives. However, the origins of Thanksgiving are not as straightforward as many may believe. In fact, the holiday has its roots in pagan rituals and traditions. One of the earliest recorded instances of giving thanks dates back to ancient Pagan cultures. For instance, the ancient Greeks celebrated a harvest festival known as Thargelia, during which they would offer food and sacrifices to their gods as a way of giving thanks for a bountiful harvest.
The Christmas classic, “jingle bells” was originally penned by James Pierpont for children celebrating Thanksgiving at his Boston Sunday School. It was so popular that it was repeated for Christmas, a holiday which made the song what it is today.
Some tribes viewed the bird as a sacred symbol of abundance and fertility, one which would serve as the sacrificial guest of honor in various ceremonies. And it is my hope that by you reading this article that you will be challenged to withdraw your participation from this pagan genocidal celebration as well.
For instance, the ancient Greeks celebrated a harvest festival known as Thargelia, during which they would offer food and sacrifices to their gods as a way of giving thanks for a bountiful harvest. Similarly, the Romans held a feast called Cerelia to honor the goddess Ceres, who was the guardian of agriculture and grain crops. During the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church introduced various days of thanksgiving to express gratitude to God for specific blessings.
Thanksgiving a purely pagan celebration
It’s like someone doing massacres in your house then tells you to celebrate to forgive you.
Those who celebrate are really brainwashed
Early Criminals who made oppression and genocides for American ancestors, seized lands and removed people of America from their lands, from their crops…In search of gold. Then they wrote America’s fake history. They named them Red indians
While they were neither red nor Indians but native Americans
Haven’t you seen the mountains of piled up skeletons found when they were digging to build stadiums for Olympic games in the US more than 200 millions were killed
After that Puritan Christians shook hands with you and sat down with you in celebration for what they did for the torment they gave you
I urge you to listen to all of this Friday sermon
It’s so powerful

Thanksgiving has a paganist origin🤔
America didn’t create Thanksgiving, it’s adopted.
Thanksgiving’s origins can be traced back to Greek and Roman harvest celebrations, by strict dictionary definition, this alone makes Thanksgiving a pagan holiday (ie, polytheistic)
The harvest festival was a pagan celebration, the religious thanksgiving was from the Church of England
In the 1800s Sarah Hale marketed the idea of a universal national American thanksgiving holiday that combined the religious thanksgivings with the harvest festival thanksgivings
SO BY CELEBRATING IT YOU MELT IN THE NEW WOLRD UNIVERSAL RELIGION (SYNCRETISM)
The cornucopia is a Greek & Roman religious symbol that can be traced back directly to the time of Jesus and further into the past
Adjustments of a pagan celebration does not make it halal. I.e Removing the pagan elements like “breaking the wish bone”
does not change the pagan origins of any holiday
The pagan harvest celebration called Harvest Home, (also called harvest thanksgiving) which originated in Church of England.
The cornucopia, a common symbol of Thanksgiving, originated from Roman and Greek mythology, from the horn of the Greek god Amalthea.
Thanksgiving Day (as a national celebration) was instituted with the intent, and by design, to be a holy day, not an ambiguously labeled “holiday”. There is no uncertainty about this, as we have primary historical references that prove this intent.
Prophet Muhammad ordered us not to celebrate other nation’s feasts or holi days
This the holy spirit of Thanksgiving Day. …That all may offer up, in one grand melody, that glorious hymn to the Creator, “Glory be to God on high, and on earth peace, good-will towards men.”
Godey’s Lady’s Book 1872
By the 6th century, the rulership of Rome had spread to England and there, the old Roman festival of Cerelia became known as the Harvest Home Festival and later Harvest Festival of Thanksgiving. The Church of England adopted this festival as a religious gathering but the festival was celebrated by both Christians and non-Christians; just like it is today. Over the next 1000 years, the Church of England went through many political battles with Rome over political and religious issues; causing certain groups within the church to split and travel to the Americas in search of gaining power, wealth and religious freedom there.
This war between the Puritans (and their allies from the Wampanoag tribe) and the so-called Indians became known as the Pequot War, and lasted from 1636-1638. However, the European armies prevailed and many Indians lost their lives in horrific fashion. In 1637 near present day Groton, Connecticut, the Puritan colonist raided the Indian Villages and burned over 700 men, women and children of the Pequot Tribe alive. The next day, the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, declared “A Day Of Thanksgiving” to be celebrated in honor of killing the native Indians of the land. In his own words, Governor John Winthrop’s proclaimed: “This day forth shall be a day of celebration and thanksgiving for subduing the Pequots.”
After their victory over the so-called Indians, the colonist began to attack other villages; seizing their land, capturing strong young Natives for slaves and killing the rest. Women and children over 14 were sold into slavery while the rest were murdered. Boats loaded with as many as 500 slaves regularly left the ports of New England to other places. Following a very successful raid against the Pequot tribe in Stamford, Connecticut, the white churches announced a second day of “Thanksgiving” to give thanks to their God and celebrated victory over whom they called, the heathen savages. During the feasting, they played soccer with the chopped off heads of the natives and kicked them through the streets like soccer balls.
As other English and Dutch colonizers migrated to the US and settled in other Indian tribal territories, they also raided and murdered various indian tribes that were living their regions. These tribes included the: Lenape, Esopus, Tuscarora, Yamasee, Muscogee, Cherokee, Catawba, Apalachee, Apalachicola, Coyaha, Shawnee, Congaree, Waxhaw, Pedee, Cape Fear, Cheraw, Pays d’en haut, Mingo, and many other tribes. Each of the tribes went to war against their colonizers and many of their members were murdered; presumably followed by a thanksgiving feast in honor of the Europeans victory over the natives.
Stop celebrating this holiday feast as it represents the European’s murder of the indigenous people of the American land and it is actually rooted in paganism.
And it is my hope that by you reading this article that you will be challenged to withdraw your participation from this pagan genocidal celebration as well.
🌱Al Imam Addahabi said on this Ayah
(5:51) O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya’ (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but Auliya’ to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya’, then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers and unjust
♦️Adahabi said that from the ways of taking them (Jews and Christians) is taking part of any level with their festivals and celebrations. Whilst, they would be ordered to hide their own celebrations in non Muslim countries. And no one does that except the weak in his faith and ignorant. Whoever immitates a people in their religion then he is from amongst them
The interpreter Mujahid ( the direct student of Abd Allah Ibn Abbas) said on this Ayah
(25:72) And those who do not witness falsehood, and if they pass by some evil play or evil talk, they pass by it with dignity.
Mujahid said that falsehood here are the celebrations and holidays of the kuffar
Islam came strange and has returned strange majority are mostly on falsehood
Imam Dahabi said when taking part in such pagan celebrations you automatically raise your kids to love non Muslims and their traditions and beliefsso what a horrible and ignorant Muslim you are then
That Thanksgiving is a mere thinking Allah
The answer is whomever resembles a people in their religion is one of them
In another narration he will be resurrected with them

These days were known as "harvest festivals" and were similar in nature to the pagan celebrations of ancient times. However, it was not until the 17th century that Thanksgiving as we know it today began to take shape. The origins of Thanksgiving in the United States can be traced back to the Pilgrims who arrived at Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. After a challenging year, which included the deaths of many colonists, the Pilgrims managed to successfully harvest their first crops in the new world. To express their gratitude, they organized a feast in the fall of 1621, inviting the local Native Americans who had helped them survive the harsh conditions. This feast, often referred to as the "First Thanksgiving," became widely recognized as a celebration of gratitude and abundance. However, it is important to note that the Pilgrims' Thanksgiving was not an entirely original concept. It drew inspiration from the Pagan and religious festivals that preceded it. Over time, Thanksgiving evolved into a national holiday and was officially declared a federal holiday by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863. It was intended to bolster national unity during the height of the Civil War, but its roots in Pagan and religious rituals remained. In conclusion, the origins of Thanksgiving can be traced back to ancient Pagan celebrations of gratitude and harvest festivals. While the holiday has evolved and taken on new meanings over the centuries, it is essential to recognize and appreciate its roots in pagan traditions. Thanksgiving serves as a reminder of the cultural and historical influences that have shaped the holiday, providing a deeper understanding of its significance..
Reviews for "Ancient Pagan Celebrations and Thanksgiving: Connecting the Dots"
1. John - 2/5
I was really disappointed with "Thanksbiving pagan origins". It felt like a complete waste of time and barely had any substance. The author barely scratched the surface when discussing the pagan origins of Thanksgiving, and instead, focused on irrelevant details. The book lacked depth and historical accuracy, and I found it to be more of a personal opinion piece rather than a well-researched work. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking for a comprehensive analysis of the Thanksgiving pagan origins.
2. Sarah - 1/5
I cannot believe I wasted my money on "Thanksbiving pagan origins". It is an absolute travesty. Not only is the writing style subpar, but the author's arguments are weak and unsupported. I was expecting a well-researched and informative book on the topic, yet I was left with more questions than answers. The lack of reliable sources and the author's biased perspective made it difficult to take anything seriously. Save your money and find a better book on the subject.
3. Michael - 2/5
As someone who was genuinely interested in learning more about the pagan origins of Thanksgiving, I found "Thanksbiving pagan origins" to be a major letdown. The author seemed more focused on pushing their own agenda rather than providing accurate historical information. The book was filled with speculation and unsubstantiated claims, leaving me skeptical of anything I read. I expected a well-researched and balanced examination of the topic, but unfortunately, this book failed to deliver. It lacked depth and intellectual rigor, making it a disappointing read.
