Why did king Henry VIII feel the need to create a thanksgiving holiday in England

In reality Henry VIII didn't not create the "Thanksgiving Day" that is being celebrated today.

Explanation:

When we check this source:

We find the following

"In the fall of 1621, less than a year after their arrival, William Bradford, the colony’s governor, called for a three day feast, which is now remembered as the first Thanksgiving. Indians joined the Pilgrims as they celebrated, feasted, heard the Bible read publicly, and gave thanks to God for His many blessings. Years later, Abraham Lincoln helped establish Thanksgiving as a regular national holiday by proclaiming the last Thursday in November as “a day of thanksgiving and praise to our beneficial Father.”

This implies that the one celebrated today as we know it was created by Abraham Lincoln and not King Henry VIII.
