Remember Thanksgiving’s Christian roots When sitting down at the dinner table this Thanksgiving, soak in the scents of hot gravy, the sight of dear friends and family, and the cinnamon goodness of a nice pumpkin pie slice. Be appreciative of all that surrounds you, the visible and, especially, the invisible. Much like Christmas, the reason for the season is the spirit of Christ and his sacrifices for us. Yet, as America and its families become more secular, Thanksgiving’s Christian origins have been less prominent and forgotten. Above the turkey and stuffing, we must remember Christ at Thanksgiving because gratitude, rooted in recognition of His providence and grace, deepens the holiday’s meaning and fosters a spirit of humility, charity, and unity. The idea of giving thanks over a shared feast is not unique to this American holiday but finds its source in the Christian practice of taking communion. The Eucharist, the primary worship service for Christians, is derived from the ancient Greek word “eucharistia,” with most translations pairing it with “thanksgiving.” This ritual stems from Jesus’s actions at the Last Supper and involves consecrating bread and wine as a thanksgiving to God for salvation through Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection.
