Thanksgiving is a holiday that has been celebrated in North America for centuries. It is often associated with a traditional meal of turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie, as well as gatherings with family and friends. However, many people may not be aware that Thanksgiving has pagan roots. The origins of Thanksgiving can be traced back to ancient harvest festivals celebrated by pagan cultures. These festivals were held to give thanks for a successful harvest and to ask for blessings for the coming year. In many pagan religions, the harvest was seen as a time of great abundance and a time to show gratitude to the gods for their blessings.
In many pagan religions, the harvest was seen as a time of great abundance and a time to show gratitude to the gods for their blessings. One of the most well-known harvest festivals that influenced Thanksgiving is the Roman festival of Ceres, the goddess of agriculture. This festival, known as Cerelia, was held in late October and was a time to honor Ceres and give thanks for the bountiful harvest.
Thanksgiving a purely pagan celebration
It’s like someone doing massacres in your house then tells you to celebrate to forgive you.
Those who celebrate are really brainwashed
Early Criminals who made oppression and genocides for American ancestors, seized lands and removed people of America from their lands, from their crops…In search of gold. Then they wrote America’s fake history. They named them Red indians
While they were neither red nor Indians but native Americans
Haven’t you seen the mountains of piled up skeletons found when they were digging to build stadiums for Olympic games in the US more than 200 millions were killed
After that Puritan Christians shook hands with you and sat down with you in celebration for what they did for the torment they gave you
I urge you to listen to all of this Friday sermon
It’s so powerful

Thanksgiving has a paganist origin🤔
America didn’t create Thanksgiving, it’s adopted.
Thanksgiving’s origins can be traced back to Greek and Roman harvest celebrations, by strict dictionary definition, this alone makes Thanksgiving a pagan holiday (ie, polytheistic)
The harvest festival was a pagan celebration, the religious thanksgiving was from the Church of England
In the 1800s Sarah Hale marketed the idea of a universal national American thanksgiving holiday that combined the religious thanksgivings with the harvest festival thanksgivings
SO BY CELEBRATING IT YOU MELT IN THE NEW WOLRD UNIVERSAL RELIGION (SYNCRETISM)
The cornucopia is a Greek & Roman religious symbol that can be traced back directly to the time of Jesus and further into the past
Adjustments of a pagan celebration does not make it halal. I.e Removing the pagan elements like “breaking the wish bone”
does not change the pagan origins of any holiday
The pagan harvest celebration called Harvest Home, (also called harvest thanksgiving) which originated in Church of England.
The cornucopia, a common symbol of Thanksgiving, originated from Roman and Greek mythology, from the horn of the Greek god Amalthea.
Thanksgiving Day (as a national celebration) was instituted with the intent, and by design, to be a holy day, not an ambiguously labeled “holiday”. There is no uncertainty about this, as we have primary historical references that prove this intent.
Prophet Muhammad ordered us not to celebrate other nation’s feasts or holi days
This the holy spirit of Thanksgiving Day. …That all may offer up, in one grand melody, that glorious hymn to the Creator, “Glory be to God on high, and on earth peace, good-will towards men.”
Godey’s Lady’s Book 1872
By the 6th century, the rulership of Rome had spread to England and there, the old Roman festival of Cerelia became known as the Harvest Home Festival and later Harvest Festival of Thanksgiving. The Church of England adopted this festival as a religious gathering but the festival was celebrated by both Christians and non-Christians; just like it is today. Over the next 1000 years, the Church of England went through many political battles with Rome over political and religious issues; causing certain groups within the church to split and travel to the Americas in search of gaining power, wealth and religious freedom there.
This war between the Puritans (and their allies from the Wampanoag tribe) and the so-called Indians became known as the Pequot War, and lasted from 1636-1638. However, the European armies prevailed and many Indians lost their lives in horrific fashion. In 1637 near present day Groton, Connecticut, the Puritan colonist raided the Indian Villages and burned over 700 men, women and children of the Pequot Tribe alive. The next day, the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, declared “A Day Of Thanksgiving” to be celebrated in honor of killing the native Indians of the land. In his own words, Governor John Winthrop’s proclaimed: “This day forth shall be a day of celebration and thanksgiving for subduing the Pequots.”
After their victory over the so-called Indians, the colonist began to attack other villages; seizing their land, capturing strong young Natives for slaves and killing the rest. Women and children over 14 were sold into slavery while the rest were murdered. Boats loaded with as many as 500 slaves regularly left the ports of New England to other places. Following a very successful raid against the Pequot tribe in Stamford, Connecticut, the white churches announced a second day of “Thanksgiving” to give thanks to their God and celebrated victory over whom they called, the heathen savages. During the feasting, they played soccer with the chopped off heads of the natives and kicked them through the streets like soccer balls.
As other English and Dutch colonizers migrated to the US and settled in other Indian tribal territories, they also raided and murdered various indian tribes that were living their regions. These tribes included the: Lenape, Esopus, Tuscarora, Yamasee, Muscogee, Cherokee, Catawba, Apalachee, Apalachicola, Coyaha, Shawnee, Congaree, Waxhaw, Pedee, Cape Fear, Cheraw, Pays d’en haut, Mingo, and many other tribes. Each of the tribes went to war against their colonizers and many of their members were murdered; presumably followed by a thanksgiving feast in honor of the Europeans victory over the natives.
Stop celebrating this holiday feast as it represents the European’s murder of the indigenous people of the American land and it is actually rooted in paganism.
And it is my hope that by you reading this article that you will be challenged to withdraw your participation from this pagan genocidal celebration as well.
🌱Al Imam Addahabi said on this Ayah
(5:51) O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya’ (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but Auliya’ to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya’, then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers and unjust
♦️Adahabi said that from the ways of taking them (Jews and Christians) is taking part of any level with their festivals and celebrations. Whilst, they would be ordered to hide their own celebrations in non Muslim countries. And no one does that except the weak in his faith and ignorant. Whoever immitates a people in their religion then he is from amongst them
The interpreter Mujahid ( the direct student of Abd Allah Ibn Abbas) said on this Ayah
(25:72) And those who do not witness falsehood, and if they pass by some evil play or evil talk, they pass by it with dignity.
Mujahid said that falsehood here are the celebrations and holidays of the kuffar
Islam came strange and has returned strange majority are mostly on falsehood
Imam Dahabi said when taking part in such pagan celebrations you automatically raise your kids to love non Muslims and their traditions and beliefsso what a horrible and ignorant Muslim you are then
That Thanksgiving is a mere thinking Allah
The answer is whomever resembles a people in their religion is one of them
In another narration he will be resurrected with them

Cornucopia – A Cornucopia is a horn shaped basket, usually filled to the point of overflowing with the bounty of the recent harvest. Items such as fresh fruits, dried grains, and other root vegetables were piled around the opening of the cornucopia to demonstrate “plenty.” So much that the cornucopia has been referred to as the “horn of plenty.” The cornucopia dates back to ancient Greece. In an old tale, Amathea the goat, broke off his horn and offered it to Zeus as a sign of reverence. In return for his loyalty, Zeus interred the image of the goat in the night sky, an image we now known as Capricorn. This tale demonstrates an exchange of gratitude and offering, thanks and giving.
It included feasting, parades, and games, much like modern-day Thanksgiving celebrations. Another pagan festival that influenced Thanksgiving was the Gaelic festival of Samhain. Celebrated on October 31st, Samhain marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. It was a time to honor the ancestors and offer thanks for their guidance and protection. Samhain also featured feasting and communal gatherings, similar to Thanksgiving traditions. When European settlers arrived in North America, they brought with them their own traditions and practices, including harvest festivals. These settlers, particularly the Pilgrims, held Thanksgiving celebrations to give thanks for their survival and the successful harvests they had experienced in the new land. The Pilgrims' Thanksgiving was influenced by their Christian beliefs, but it also drew upon the pagan traditions they had known in Europe. Over time, Thanksgiving became less associated with pagan rituals and more associated with Christian and nationalistic themes. In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday, aiming to bring a divided nation together and promote unity. Thanksgiving also became a time to express gratitude for the blessings and freedoms enjoyed in America. Despite its pagan roots, Thanksgiving has evolved and taken on new meanings throughout history. Today, it is celebrated as a time to gather with loved ones, reflect on blessings, and express gratitude. While the original pagan rituals may have faded into the background, the spirit of giving thanks remains at the heart of the holiday..
Reviews for "Thanksgiving: A Modern Spin on Ancient Pagan Festivals"
1. John - Rating: 2/5
I was disappointed with "Thanksgiving Pagan Roots" as I felt that the documentary failed to provide a well-balanced perspective. It focused solely on the pagan origins of the holiday, completely ignoring the cultural significance and traditions associated with Thanksgiving today. While it is important to understand the historical context, I believe there should have been more exploration of how Thanksgiving has evolved over time. Overall, I found the documentary to be biased and lacking in depth.
2. Sarah - Rating: 3/5
Although "Thanksgiving Pagan Roots" did shed light on the pagan origins of Thanksgiving, I was hoping for a more comprehensive examination of the topic. The documentary felt repetitive, often reiterating the same points without providing much additional insight. Additionally, I wish there had been more interviews or discussions with experts in the field to give a well-rounded perspective. Overall, while the documentary had interesting content, it lacked depth and could have benefited from more varied sources of information.

I found "Thanksgiving Pagan Roots" to be a bit misleading in its title. While it did touch upon the pagan origins of Thanksgiving, the documentary was primarily focused on criticizing and undermining the holiday's current celebration. It seemed to portray Thanksgiving as some sort of manipulated and forced tradition, rather than recognizing the value it holds for many people. As someone who enjoys the holiday and appreciates its significance in American culture, I was disappointed with the negative tone and lack of objective analysis in the documentary.
