Here's how to enjoy a day full of gratitude, faith, and love.

This Thanksgiving might feel a little different than usual. Some will be missing loved ones who have died or are far away; others will be feeling the stresses of job insecurity. But many will be meeting up with friends and family members they didn’t get to see last year.

To help you all make the most of this special day, here are a selection of our most popular Thanksgiving slideshows that we hope you’ll enjoy. Have a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving!

Biblical inspiration

Although Thanksgiving is a 400-year-old celebration, it’s funny to think that just 10 years before the first Thanksgiving, the first copy of the St. James’ Bible was published — a version of the Bible that is said to be the most printed book in the history of the world. And if you look through the centuries’ old version, and the previous versions, you’ll see that the Bible is the ultimate instruction manual in how, and why, we should be thankful.
