The First Thanksgiving was Catholic

Yup. Once again Protties, you really need to stop pretending you started anything with regards to Christianity. Other than Rebelliously Protesting it that is.

With thanks to David.

First Thanksgiving Was Actually Catholic. It Was a Traditional Latin Mass of Thanksgiving in St. Augustine, Florida in 1565. Fifty five years before the Pilgrims Landed at Plymouth Rock.
History books have long portrayed images of the US’s first Thanksgiving in Plymouth, Massachusetts, with Pilgrims, dressed in black and white, sharing turkey with American Indians.
On the contrary, St. Augustine, the US’s oldest city, was the site of the first Thanksgiving. This first Thanksgiving took place in 1565, when the Spanish founder of St. Augustine, Pedro Menindez de Avilis, and 800 Spanish settlers shared in a Mass of Thanksgiving. A Mass. A Traditional Latin Mass.
Following the Mass, Menindez ordered a communal meal to be shared by the Spaniards and the Seloy Indians who occupied the landing site. The nation’s first Thanksgiving menu would most likely have consisted of what the Spanish settlers had with them during their voyage: cocido, a stew made from salted pork and garbanzo beans laced with garlic seasoning, hard sea biscuits, and red wine (wine!!). The Seloy natives contributed to the meal wild turkey, venison, gopher-tortoise, mullet, corn, beans, and squash. Happy Thanksgiving!
