Looking for something to do the day before Thanksgiving? A Brighter Rainbow Learning Center is throwing a Thanksgiving potluck for your friends and family. The event will be on Wednesday, November 25, and while you're figuring out what you'll bring to the gathering, check out how people from different cultures have celebrated giving thanks over the years, brought to you by A Brighter Rainbow Learning Center:

  • Ancient Greek: In honor of Demeter, the goddess of corn and grains, the ancient Greeks threw a harvest festival.
  • Ancient Rome: Ancient Greek and Ancient Rome shared similar customs, as their culture and mythology have several overlaps — the Romans also celebrated their goddess of corn, Ceres, by hosting a massive feast, complete with music, games, sports, and even a parade.
  • British Isles: The British precursor to Thanksgiving was called Lammas Day, in which churchgoers brought a loaf of bread made from the first wheat harvest.
  • Ancient Chinese: To celebrate the harvest moon, the people of Ancient China celebrated Chung Ch'ui by having a feast that featured "moon cakes."
  • Ancient Egyptians: To commemorate Min, the god of vegetation and fertility, the people of Ancient Egypt threw a huge harvest festival, too.
