In the year 1621, the Pilgrims held their first Thanksgiving feast. They invited the great Indian chief, Massasoit, who brought ninety of his brave Indians and a great abundance of food. Governor Bradford and Captain Miles Standish were honored guests. Elder William Brewster, who was a minister, said a prayer that went something like this;
"We thank God for our homes and our food and our safety in a new land. We thank God for the opportunity to create a new world for freedom and justice."
