5.感恩节和伦敦西敏寺
关键词:Westminster Abbey 西敏寺
In 1942, London's Westminster Abbey held Thanksgiving services for U.S. troops stationed in England. More than 3,500 soldiers filled the church's pews to sing America, the Beautiful and The Star-Spangled Banner — the first time in the church's 900-year history that a foreign army was invited to take over the grounds. It was an ironic gesture given the holiday's origins as a festival for pilgrims fleeing religious tyranny in Britain.
1942年,为表彰美国军队保护英国,伦敦西敏寺为美国军人举行了感恩节宴会。当时有超过3500人到场,齐唱“美丽的美国和星条旗”——这是这座教堂900年来第一次邀请外国军队驻足。讽刺的是,这个节日的缘由正是因为当年迁徙到美国的清教徒们在英国受到宗教迫害。就此创造了全世界第一盒冰冻简餐。汤玛斯说他的灵感来源于飞机餐。
