INDEPENDENCE DAY
The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.
TRADUZIONE:GIORNO DELL'INDIPENDENZA
Il giorno dell'Indipendenza degli Stati Uniti (Independence Day), noto anche come il 4 luglio, è la festa nazionale degli Stati Uniti d'America che commemora l'adozione della Dichiarazione di indipendenza il 4 luglio 1776, con la quale le Tredici Colonie si distaccarono dal Regno Unito di Gran Bretagna. I festeggiamenti vengono svolti solitamente attraverso fuochi d'artificio, parate, barbecue, picnic, concerti, partite di baseball, discorsi politici, cerimonie ed altri eventi pubblici e privati che celebrano la storia, il governo e le tradizioni degli Stati Uniti.
THANKSGIVING DAY
Thanksgiving Day is a holiday celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada. Traditionally, it has been a time to give thanks to God. Currently, in Canada, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October and in the United States, it is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. Thanksgiving in Canada falls on the same day as Columbus Day in the United States.
The origins of Canadian Thanksgiving can also be traced to the French settlers who came to New France with explorer Samuel de Champlain in the early 17th century, who also took to celebrating their successful harvests. The French settlers in the area typically had feasts at the end of the harvest season and continued throughout the winter season, even sharing their food with the indigenous peoples of the area.[5] Champlain had also proposed for the creation of the Order of Good Cheer in 1606.[6]
As many more settlers arrived in Canada, more celebrations of good harvest became common. New immigrants into the country, such as the Irish, Scottish and Germans, would also add their own traditions to the harvest celebrations. Most of the U.S. aspects of Thanksgiving (such as the turkey) were incorporated when United Empire Loyalists began to flee from the United States during the American Revolution and settled in Canada.[5]
