(Minghui.org) Thanksgiving in Canada is a holiday filled with warmth and autumn spirit. It is celebrated on the second Monday of October every year, and this year it falls on October 12. This holiday originated from the Indigenous people’s gratitude for the harvest and European explorers’ religious observance, and has gradually become a time for families to gather and share food.

People usually prepare traditional dishes which symbolize the autumn harvest; turkey is often the main dish accompanied by pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and a variety of food made with seasonal ingredients. Many families reflect on the past year’s harvest and blessings on this day, expressing gratitude for life.

In Canada, Thanksgiving is not just about a big dinner, but about cherishing time with family and being grateful for the little joys life brings as the autumn winds grow cooler.

These Thanksgiving cards send holiday greetings to relatives and friends, while also sharing the benefits of practicing Falun Dafa and reminding them to remember “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
