Thanksgiving  Canada 2013

Hình ảnh Thu Sherbrooke được chụp từ nhà thờ Beauvoir trên ngọn  đồi cao nhìn xuống, nơi đây mùa hè được tiếp đón rất nhiều du khách đến hành hương và hay được gọi là Montmartre- Sherbrooke * , thêm vào đó khuôn viên Đại Học Sherbrooke cũng đượm sắc thắm đỏ của các cây Fusain, Érable trông  rất đẹp mắt. Mont Bellevue, Mont Orford nhìn từ đaị học rất hữu tình vì đượm nhiều mầu sắc .
Con đường  quanh co dọc ven sông Magog, chảy ngang thành phố Sherbrooke, dành cho xe đạp và khách bộ hành, khi trời  vào thu với lá vàng, lá đỏ  rất nên thơ, và tiếp đến một vài cảnh thu trong sân có lá rụng với các chú sóc Suisse thân quen đến ăn hạt hướng dương mỗi ngày.
Xin tạ ơn đời, ơn trời về sự no đủ cũng như những phong cảnh tuyệt đẹp đã do tạo hóa dựng nên.

What do people do?

Many people have a day off work on the second Monday of October. They often use the three-day Thanksgiving weekend to visit family or friends who live far away, or to receive them in their own homes. Many people also prepare a special meal to eat at some point during the long weekend. Traditionally, this included roast turkey and seasonal produce, such as pumpkin, corn ears and pecan nuts. Now, the meal may consist of other foods, particularly if the family is of non-European descent.
The Thanksgiving weekend is also a popular time to take a short autumn vacation. This may be the last chance in a while for some people to use cottages or holiday homes before winter sets in. Other popular activities include: outdoor breaks to admire the spectacular colors of the Canadian autumn; hiking; and fishing. Fans of the teams in the Canadian Football League may spend part of the weekend watching the Thanksgiving Day Classic matches.

Public life

Thanksgiving Day is national public holiday in Canada. Many people have the day off work and all schools and post offices are closed. Many stores and other businesses and organizations are also closed. Public transport services may run to a reduced timetable or may not run at all.

Background

The native peoples of the Americas held ceremonies and festivals to celebrate the completion and bounty of the harvest long before European explorers and settlers arrived in what is now Canada. Early European thanksgivings were held to give thanks for some special fortune. An early example is the ceremony the explorer Martin Frobisher held in 1578 after he had survived the long journey in his quest to find a northern passage from Europe to Asia.
Many thanksgivings were held following noteworthy events during the 18th century. Refugees fleeing the civil war in the United States brought the custom of an annual thanksgiving festival to Canada. From 1879, Thanksgiving Day was held every year but the date varied and there was a special theme each year. The theme was the "Blessings of an abundant harvest" for many years. However, Queen Victoria's golden and diamond jubilees and King Edward VII's coronation formed the theme in later years.
From the end of the First World War until 1930, both Armistice Day and Thanksgiving Day were celebrated on the Monday closest to November 11, the anniversary of the official end of hostilities in World War I. In 1931, Armistice Day was renamed Remembrance Day and Thanksgiving Day was moved to a Monday in October. Since 1957, Thanksgiving Day has always been held on the second Monday in October.

Symbols

Thanksgiving Day in Canada is linked to the European tradition of harvest festivals. A common image seen at this time of year is a cornucopia, or horn, filled with seasonal fruit and vegetables. The cornucopia, which means "Horn of Plenty" in Latin, was a symbol of bounty and plenty in ancient Greece. Turkeys, pumpkins, ears of corn and large displays of food are also used to symbolize Thanksgiving Day.
