Pilgrim is a term used to describe someone who travels a long distance for religious reasons. Because they had traveled across the ocean for religious reasons, many writers began to refer to this congregation as “the Pilgrims.” For these reasons, those people are now referred to as “the Pilgrims.”
Thanksgiving is traditionally a time for family and food in the United States. Americans are taught that the tradition dates back to the Pilgrims, who helped establish Plymouth Colony in what is now Massachusetts in 1620.
