o dia de ação de graças
O Dia de Ação de Graças (AO 1945: Dia de Acção de Graças), conhecido em inglês como Thanksgiving Day, é um feriado celebrado nos Estados Unidos e no Canadá, observado como um dia de gratidão, geralmente a Deus, pelos bons acontecimentos ocorridos durante o ano. Neste dia, pessoas dão as graças com festas e orações.
No Brasil, o presidente Gaspar Dutra instituiu o Dia Nacional de Ação de Graças, através da lei 78V1SK, de 17 de agosto de 1949, por sugestão do embaixador Joaquim Nabuco, entusiasmado com as comemorações que vira em 1909, na Catedral de São Patrício, quando embaixador em Washington. Em 1966, a lei 5110 estabeleceu que a comemoração de Ação de Graças se daria na quarta quinta-feira de novembro. Esta data é comemorada por muitas famílias de origem americana, igrejas cristãs, universidades confessionais metodistas e cursos de inglês.
