Did you know the first actual Thanksgiving took place in St Augustine, Florida in 1565, not the widely believed Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1621?

Brace yourself for a riveting journey through history as we peel back layers of misconception to uncover the true roots of Thanksgiving.

We delve into the fascinating details of this original event, including a holy mass offering, the prominent roles of don Pedro Menendez and father Francisco Lopez de Mendoza Graliales, and the remarkable involvement of the local Timunacan Indians.

Key Points from the Episode:

  • We're setting the record straight. Join us as we continue to challenge popular narratives surrounding Thanksgiving with the incredible tale of Squanto, the Catholic Indian who saved the pilgrims at Plymouth Rock. 
  • Learn about the pivotal role Spanish explorers played in early American history, preceding even the English in what's now known as the American colonies. Our takeaway? History doesn't always align with popular belief. 
  • Tune in, open your mind, and be inspired to question, explore, and understand more about our collective past, the events that have shaped our present, and the impactful lessons they hold for our future.

Our exploration promises more than just an intellectual feast. It's a hearty meal!
