 HOW THANKSGIVING DAY IS CELEBRATED IN YOUR COUNTRY |

Chusok by Im Miok from Seoul
Thankgiving day is called as Chuseok in Korea. It is a three day holiday celebrated in September. We celebrate Chuseok to honor our ancestors. All Koreans celebrate this festival with their families.
During Chuseok, people in the city usually go home to their provinces. They visit the graves of their ancestors to perform rituals and to offer food.
Various kinds of food are served during this festival. Usually, the dishes are prepared from the season's harvest. One of the most commonly served foods during Chuseok is "songpyeon", a rice cake. Fruits are also common in this time. |

Festa La Fraga in Galicia by Xaquin Perez
In Galicia, every 25th of July a forest party is held to celebrate our National day. It is a two-day party where we all camp in the forest, eat foods like barbeque and other picnic foods. Concerts, games and drinking sprees as well as dancing characterize the celebration. After the party, people bathe in the river to refresh themselves after a long day non-stop merry making. This Forest party has been celebrated by the Galicians for more than a hundred years now. This is one celebration that Galicians don't miss the fun. Watch this video for you to understand how we do it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obggBoDb3ew

THANKSGIVING DAY IN GOA by Kumar Rajid
Thanksgiving Day Celebration in Goa
Thanksgiving is primarily celebrated in the state of Goa, with a different name.
Thanksgiving is popularly known as 'Ladin' or 'Ladainha' in India.
'Ladin' literally means a litany to the Virgin Mary. During the Thanksgiving ritual,
people thank God for all the material and spiritual benefits. The Thanksgiving function is sponsored by a different person every year
who either seeks benefits or has been lucky enough to have God's special grace.
Christians start preparing for Thanksgiving celebrations by purchasing wheat and gram,
candles, wine and colored tinsel paper. A temporary platform/altar is constructed
which is decorated with flowers, vines and creepers. Celebrations also include
singing of hymns and prayers. The village local violinist/choirmaster conducts the entire
show of singing of litany.
Religious Feast of Thanksgiving in Goa
Another celebration associated with the feeling of Thanksgiving, is the popular religious by: Singh Khan SInghrit-India
feast of conception of Mother Mary. It is a time for farmers to cut the first harvest
of milk-filed corn from the rice field and offer it to God. This is done to seek God's
blessing for a good harvest in the coming season. Though the date of celebrations varies
in different parts of Goa, but generally it is celebrated on the 15th of August every year.
