The pagan origins of the Thanksgiving celebration can be traced back to ancient harvest festivals that were celebrated by various cultures around the world. These festivals were held to give thanks for a successful harvest and to appease the gods for future bountiful harvests. In ancient Greece, the festival of Thesmophoria was celebrated in honor of Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, and included feasts, processions, and offerings. Similarly, the Roman festival of Ceres, also dedicated to the goddess of agriculture, involved feasting, games, and the offering of fruits and grains. Even in ancient China, the Mid-Autumn Festival was celebrated to give thanks for the harvest and included the sharing of a special meal with family and friends. The Thanksgiving celebration as we know it today in the United States has its roots in the early 17th century when English pilgrims, who were influenced by their European traditions and customs, held a feast to give thanks for their first successful harvest in the New World.

The Thanksgiving celebration as we know it today in the United States has its roots in the early 17th century when English pilgrims, who were influenced by their European traditions and customs, held a feast to give thanks for their first successful harvest in the New World. This feast, known as the "First Thanksgiving," has been romanticized and is often associated with the peaceful coexistence between the pilgrims and the Native Americans. However, it is important to note that Thanksgiving did not become an official national holiday until 1863 when President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a day of "thanksgiving and praise" to be celebrated on the last Thursday of November.

Reviews for "The Surprising Pagan Influences Behind Thanksgiving Celebrations"
- Emily - 1 star - The pagan origins of the Thanksgiving celebration is a complete fabrication and lacks any evidence to support its claims. The author presents a skewed interpretation of historical events and cherry-picks information to fit their narrative. It's disappointing that this book perpetuates misconceptions and misleads readers with false information.
- Mike - 2 stars - I was hoping to learn more about the true origins of Thanksgiving, but this book was a letdown. The author's argument is weak and lacks substantial evidence. They seem more focused on discrediting the holiday rather than providing a balanced perspective. I was left feeling frustrated and unsatisfied with the book's content.
- Sarah - 1 star - I found "The pagan origins of the Thanksgiving celebration" to be a complete waste of time. The author makes baseless claims and fails to provide any legitimate sources or scholarly research to support their arguments. It seems like nothing more than a conspiracy theory in book form. I would not recommend wasting your time or money on this book.
