Worldwide Church of God

How should we view the American custom of celebrating Thanksgiving Day? The Thanksgiving holiday was established in comparatively recent years. It is, of course, not mentioned in Scripture - but the principle of attending and celebrating national holidays is made clear in Scripture. Thanksgiving Day was established by the early colonists, not by any Divine authority. But this in itself does not make it wrong to celebrate with good fellowship. Notice the example of Jesus Christ. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
