165. Thanksgiving

While there is no national holiday called Thanksgiving in Moldova, churches throughout Moldova celebrate Thanksgiving.  In the villages Thanksgiving really is thanking God for the weather and the food that was grown, so many rely on food they personally grew.


Here are some photos from the local Baptist church and their celebration.  There were many people from villages around that came to celebrate this event and invited everyone there to their own Thanksgiving celebrations.


After the service the church invited everyone to have a meal.  It was a lot of fun to see so many people and celebrate a year’s worth of work to grown and conserve the food needed for the winter.
