目录
Honor6 de Balzac once said that a mother‘s happiness is like a beacon,lighting up the future but also reflected on the past in the form of fond memo-vies.
Mothers are the most valued people in the world and our connection withour mothers is a universal symbol of unconditional love, affection and care.
And that is the reason why all over the world, Mother’s Day is celebrated toshow great respect and gratefulness to all the lovely mothers of the world. It isour way of expressing heartfelt gratitude towards our moms and to let them knowthat we are always there. We thank them for making us who we are.
Some believe that the origin of Mother‘s Day goes back to ancient Greece,where a special festival was held in the honor of Cybele, a great mother of Greekgods. This festival was held around the Vernal Equinox around Asia Minor andeventually in Rome.
In some other countries, Mother’s Day began not as a celebration for indi-vidual mothers but rather marked a Christian ritual.
People in the United States celebrate Mother‘s Day in May. This day wasinfluenced by the British day and was imported by social activist Julia WardHowe after the Civil War.
