The Origin of Mother's Day
The Early Days of Mother's Day
Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May to honor mothers and mother figures. Although it is widely celebrated across the world, the earliest known celebrations of Mother's Day were held in ancient Greece, where they paid tribute to the mother of the gods, Rhea. In the 1600s, England celebrated a day called \"Mothering Sunday,\" where people gave gifts and flowers to their mothers. This day was later adopted by the United States, where it evolved into Mother's Day.
The Woman Behind Mother's Day
The modern Mother's Day was created by Anna Jarvis, an American woman who lost her mother in 1905. She wanted to honor her mother and all mothers for their sacrifices and hard work. In 1908, she held a memorial for her mother in her hometown of Grafton, West Virginia. She then campaigned to make Mother's Day a national holiday. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the second Sunday in May to be Mother's Day.
How Mother's Day is Celebrated Today
Today, Mother's Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. People give gifts and flowers to their mothers, as well as spending quality time with them. Many families also enjoy a special meal or go out for a fun activity. It's a day to show our love and appreciation for all that our mothers do for us. Mother's Day has become one of the most popular holidays in the world and a day to honor the most important woman in our lives.版权声明：本站部分常识内容收集于其他平台，若您有更好的常识内容想分享可以联系我们哦！
