The history of the celebration now called Thanksgiving dates back thousands of years.

Harvest celebrations often included large gatherings and feasts as well as rituals and dances. All of these traditions informed Thanksgiving celebrations that European colonial settlers brought with them. The earliest known Thanksgiving celebration hosted by settlers in Canada took place in 1578.

t’s fitting that Jules Verne, father of science fiction, would have a dark, otherworldly gravestone. Two years after his death, a sculpture was erected atop his marker. Designed by sculptor Albert Roze, and using the actual death mask of the writer, the statue depicts the shrouded figure of Jules Verne breaking his own tombstone and emerging from the grave.
