Thanksgiving Day (Saint Lucia)

Thanksgiving Day is a public holiday in Saint Lucia, observed on the first Monday in October each year. The holiday is a harvest celebration giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and the island's bounty.

Saint Lucia is an island country in the Caribbean Sea. Indigenous people inhabited the island centuries before Europeans arrived in the 16th century. Thanksgiving Day has historical roots in the ancient harvest festivals celebrated in September or October.

In 1660, the French first settled on the island. In the following years, both the French and the British were interested in the island, and it changed hands between the two countries many times until 1814 when the British eventually acquired it.

Unlike the celebrations in the United States, the celebrations of the holiday are not very popular, and many businesses remain open during the holiday. Many people enjoy the holiday and spend time with their families.
