THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

The 10 Commandments - God's Revelation in the Old Testament

The 10 Commandments are found in the Bible's Old Testament at Exodus, Chapter 20.

They were given directly by God to the people of Israel at Mount Sinai after He had delivered them from slavery in Egypt:

"And God spoke all these words, saying: 'I am the LORD your God…

ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'

TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'

THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'

FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'

FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'

SIX: 'You shall not murder.'

SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'

EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.'

NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'

TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'

 THANKSGIVING (IN ENGLISH)

El Día de Acción de Gracias 

(en inglés, Thanksgiving Day; francés, Jour de l'Action de grâce) es una celebración tradicional de Estados Unidos y Canadá. En los Estados Unidos se celebra el cuarto jueves del mes de noviembre, aunque originalmente se hacía el último jueves. En Canadá, por su parte, se celebra el segundo lunes de octubre. Generalmente en esta festividad se reúnen en torno a una mesa familiares y amigos a compartir un banquete. Aunque religiosa en origen, está considerada como una festividad secular.

En los Estados Unidos, la tradición moderna del día de Acción de Gracias tiene sus orígenes en el año 1621, en una celebración en Plymouth, en el actual estado de Massachusetts. También existen evidencias de que los exploradores españoles en Texas realizaron celebraciones en el continente con anterioridad en 1598, y fiestas de agradecimiento en la colonia de Virginia. La fiesta en 1621 se celebró en agradecimiento por una buena cosecha. En los años posteriores, la tradición continuó con los líderes civiles tales como el gobernador William Bradford, quien planeó celebrar el día y ayunar en 1623. Dado que al principio la colonia de Plymouth no tenía suficiente comida para alimentar a la mitad de los 102 colonos, los nativos de la tribu Wampanoag ayudaron a los peregrinos dándoles semillas y enseñándoles a pescar. La práctica de llevar a cabo un festival de la cosecha como este no se volvió una tradición regular en Nueva Inglaterra hasta finales de la década de 1660
