DESCRIPTION:

The Schwenkfelders are a Christian offshoot of Lutheranism, which originated with Casper Schwenckfeld (1489-1561) of Silesia (Southern Germany). His followers would eventually settle in the Perkiomen Valley of southeastern Pennsylvania.

Like the Puritans of England, they immigrated to the American colonies to escape religious persecution. They arrived in the United States from the city of Harpersdorf (Poland) between 1731 and 1737. The most significant wave came on September 22, 1734, and they celebrated their first Day of Remembrance on September 24, 1734.

The Schwenkfelder Thanksgiving is the oldest known thanksgiving celebration in the United States. President Lincoln declared the national holiday, Thanksgiving, on the fourth Thursday of November in 1863 to unite the nation during the American Civil War.
