Pope Leo says Thanksgiving is a 'beautiful feast' that unites all
Briefly

Pope Leo says Thanksgiving is a 'beautiful feast' that unites all
"First and foremost, the gift of life. The gift of the faith. The gift of unity,"
"this beautiful feast that we have in the United States, which unites all people - people of different faiths, people who perhaps do not have the gift of faith"
Thanksgiving functions as a unifying feast for believers and non-believers, prompting communal expressions of gratitude. Gratitude centers on recognition of specific gifts, notably life, faith, and unity. Castel Gandolfo serves as a retreat used for rest and recreational tennis on Mondays and Tuesdays. The first Thanksgiving of the current pontificate will occur in Turkey during the initial foreign trip. The holiday emphasizes saying thank you across different faiths and among those without religious faith, reinforcing a shared cultural practice of giving thanks ahead of the U.S. holiday.
