Subject: German Holiday's The Equivalent to our Thanksgiving in Germany For German Descendants From: WendyMayfield Date: November 27, 1999 Hello Everyone... I thought since I live in Germany that I would share with you the German Equivalent of Thanksgiving. As with our Thanksgiving, the Germans do celebrate the gift of bountious foodstuffs. On their holiday, items of food (vegies and such/no meats) are brought into their churches, and laid before thier altars. Here the priest prays and gives thanks for the harvest that they have been given. These items are not sacraficed to their stomach's as such is the case with our Turkey Day! They do however make this a solom occasion. Hugs From Germany Wendy ==== SCROOTS Mailing List ==== Go To: #, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Main |
