American settlers arriving on the Mayflower were called "Pilgrims" in the 1800s, a name that stuck due to the narrative of their religious journey to a new land and a phrase used by one of the settlers, William Bradford. The group itself, composed of religious separatists, actually called themselves "Saints" and were not officially known as "Pilgrims" until 220 years after their arrival.

I loooooove your interpretation, with that bewildered turkey in the foreground that seems to be calling us as witnesses.
A wonder!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving surrounded by happiness, tenderness and joy.
Lots of love and hugs for you, my wonderful friend.
