INTERNATIONAL THANKSGIVING DAY HELD AT UNITED NATIONS
UNITED NATIONS — For the first time ever, an “International Day of Thanksgiving” celebration was held here Nov. 25.
The unusual event, which included multi-lingual performances by representatives of several different nations, was opened with a short meditation by Sri Chinmoy, Director of the United Nations Meditation Group.
The concept of Thanksgiving is observed in several countries, and last month’s event sought to unify these different approaches under the aegis of the United Nations.
An international vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner made up of dishes from around the world was held that evening.
