Leyden Thanksgiving Link to Pilgrim Feast Founded in 1574
In Leyden, the 1574 relief of the city from a Spanish siege became a turning point in Dutch freedom. William of Orange orchestrated a flood to aid the defenders, and a night retreat of Spanish forces ended with a boy witnessing the escape. The feast of Thanksgiving began in Leyden on October 8, later remembered as the origin of the Pilgrim tale for Thanksgiving.
