It’s always good to know the real history.
Most Americans were taught that the first Thanksgiving happened at Plymouth Rock in 1621.
But did you know that more than 55 years earlier, Spanish Catholic settlers in St. Augustine, Florida celebrated the real first Thanksgiving in what would become the United States. On September 8, 1565, they offered a Mass of thanksgiving, shared a feast with the Timucua tribe, and began a Catholic tradition long before the English Puritans ever arrived.
This history was buried because it doesn’t fit the Protestant-centric myth taught in American schools. But the record is clear:
The first city in America was Catholic.
The first feast of thanksgiving was Catholic.
The first act of gratitude on American soil was the Holy Mass.
From all of us at Souls and Liberty: Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones.
