It symbolizes Oneness of people and epitomizes peace and harmony. This Thanksgiving Festival is all about fun and merrymaking, exchanging Thanksgiving gifts and gift ideas and thanking God for providing every thing to mankind without asking for it.
The special Thanksgiving Symbols prevalent all over the world are:

  • Turkey: It is the widest used Thanksgiving Symbol all over the world. It is served as a main course during the celebration and adorns every table of the household. It is said that the pilgrims had a feast of cooked turkey after their first harvest in the year 1621 which popularly came to be known as ‘First Thanksgiving Feast’. It continued for three days and included ninety Indians. Turkey became the food for the people because it could be easily found and that too in plenty.

  • Pumpkin: It is one of the important Thanksgiving Symbols of the harvest season and has been the American favorite for over 400 years. Thanksgiving table has the customary ‘Pumpkin Pie’, which is the staple food for the pilgrims. Even the pumpkin leaves are used in the salads.

  • Beans: These are special Thanksgiving Symbols. Native Americans taught the pilgrims to grow beans near cornstalks so that beans could grow and use cornstalks as their pole. Hence, American beans are known as ‘Pole Beans’. These are also known as one of the ‘Three Sisters’.

  • Cornucopia: It is the most common symbol of the harvest season. It is horn shaped and is filled with the bounty of Earth’s harvest, popularly known as ‘horn of harvest’. According to Greek Mythology, Amalthea—a goat broke one of her horns and offered it to Zeus, a Greek God as a sign of reverence, awe and fear. And as gratitude, Zeus later set the goat’s image in the sky also known as constellation Capricorn.
