Have the French begun to celebrate Thanksgiving on the same day as we do here? In France, Le Jour de l'Action de Grâce (day of the act of grace) is a religious harvest festival that takes place in early October, similar to Erntedankfest (thanksgiving for the harvest) or Winzerfest (wine grower's festival) that takes place around the same time in Germany.

England has Harvest Festivals, since pagan times. Harvest festival is traditionally held on the Sunday near or of the Harvest Moon. This is the full Moon that occurs closest to the autumn equinox (22 or 23 September). The celebrations on this day usually include singing hymns, praying, and decorating churches with baskets of fruit and food in the festival known as Harvest Festival, Harvest Home, Harvest Thanksgiving or Harvest Festival of Thanksgiving.
