Thanksgiving holds a particular place among American holidays, and this gallery's Occasions section gathers images that show how the day has been observed over the years. The title alone points to the holiday's core idea of giving thanks, a tradition often traced back to the autumn harvest feasts of the 1600s in New England. Over the following centuries the day grew from a regional custom into a national one, and it was formally set as a fixed holiday in the late 1800s. Pictures like this one capture the family tables, parades, and gatherings that gave the day its lasting character.
