This Thursday or the next Thursday?

Is the last Thursday of November or the fourth Thursday of November the big Thanksgiving day?

Hi floratang

It's this week, on Thursday. The American holiday Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November. That usually means it's the last Thursday, but if there happen to be 5 Thursdays in Novemebr in a particular year, then Thanksgiving is the second to last Thursday -- as it is this year. Very Happy

Amy

Talking of Thanksgiving, do any of you say a prayer before and/or after meals? My parents normally do – though less and less people care for this tradition any more (I occasionally do it).

Prayers Mon Nov 20, 2006 17:58 pm  Prayers
 

Hi Conchita,

I suppose it depends on how religious you are. I would assume it is relatively rare to say such prayers in most Western families - but I could easily be wrong since my persepective is quite limited. What about people and Church in your country? How religious is the average Spaniard?

As in most Western countries, religion in Spain is declining. People have become far less religious-minded and fewer and fewer, especially the young, go to church nowadays.
