First Thanksgiving Was Actually Catholic « Doug Lawrence’s Weblog
It Was a Traditional Latin Mass of Thanksgiving in St. Augustine, in 1565. Fifty five years in the forefront the Pilgrims Landed at Plymouth Rock.
History books be dressed large portrayed images of the US’s anything else Thanksgiving in Plymouth, Massachusetts, with Pilgrims, dressed in blackguardly and milky, sharing turkey with American Indians. (It should be distinguished that the Pilgrims, who came to America to disappear faithful chivy from the Anglicans, were themselves the perpetrators of faithful chivy.
No cudgel one’s brains they were “persecuted.”)
To the antipathetic, the dig into of Michael Gannon, an dab with a bequeath on Florida colonial too revealing and professor of too revealing at the University of Florida, all about twenty years ago revealed that St. When they had been in power, they had gone in a row the English countryside destroying Anglican altars and liturgical accoutrements because the Anglican Church was too “papish” on them. Augustine, the US’s oldest big apple, was the locale of the anything else Thanksgiving. This anything else Thanksgiving took neighbourhood in 1565, 55 years in the forefront the Pilgrims landed, when the Spanish establisher of St.
Augustine, Pedro Menindez de Avilis, and 800 Spanish settlers shared in a Mass of Thanksgiving. A Traditional Latin Mass. Get that? A Mass.
Following the Mass, Menindez ordered a communal luncheon to be shared by means of the Spaniards and the Seloy Indians who occupied the splashdown locale. Prof. Gannon, in his tome, The Cross in the Sand, states that the nation’s anything else Thanksgiving menu would most indubitably be dressed consisted of what the Spanish settlers had with them during their voyage: cocido, a mess made from salted pork and garbanzo beans laced with garlic flavour, adamant Poseidon’s kingdom biscuits, and red wine.

So, you time-honoured Catholic families, when you shirr in a row your Thanksgiving steppe this year, state your children the genuine plot outline of the anything else Thanksgiving: that it was hosted not by means of the Pilgrims, but by means of time-honoured Roman Catholics, and that its centerpiece was not a turkey, but the Traditional Latin Mass. If the Seloy natives contributed to the luncheon, the steppe would be dressed seen uncultured turkey, venison, gopher-tortoise, mullet, corn, beans, and squash.
Happy Thanksgiving!
