Mother's Day will be celebrated on May 8 because, as I am sure you all know, this event varies from year to year, depending on the day that falls on the second Sunday of the month of roses. I bet you're already starting to project yourself to this date so dear to us all, and planning to do the gift to your mom or maybe you want to organize the festival.
Whether you are at your mothers time, or only daughters, this event is certainly one of those who can not let pass without at least a greeting card or a bouquet of flowers. But have you ever wondered what the history of Mother's Day? Who is the first game of the idea, and where and when? Well, if you know nothing about this sweet holiday, we come to PF with a little 'fresh information for you.
First of all, know that the origins are very ancient: The ancient Greeks dedicated one day per year to their mothers, it was the feast in honor of the goddess Rhea, the mother of the gods. The Romans, then, were not confined to a single day, but chose a full week of May to celebrate mothers and roses.
Furthermore, a party first began to be dedicated to her mother in Britain, but during Lent. It happened in 1600 during the fourth Sunday of Lent, which was titled Mothering Sunday (Sunday of motherhood), the day when the children offered to their parent-called sweet, just mothering cake (a cake of motherhood).
But the institutionalization of Mother's Day as we know it today, established the second Sunday in May, is due to the initiative of an American woman named Ana Jarvis, originally from Philadelphia. Mrs. Jarvis, to commemorate worthily the death of his mother, said in 1907 that his own parish dedicated the second Sunday of May, the celebration of Mass in memory mother.
This, however, was viewed favorably a bit 'all, so the following year the entire city of Philadelphia decided to celebrate the mother figure to fall on the second Sunday of May. At that point, just like a wildfire, the initiative spread throughout the country, so much so that in 1911, Mother's Day had become a regular event.
But it was not until 1914 that the U.S. President Wilson decided to formalize the event, and make it a national holiday. Thus, the United States, Mother's Day has arrived with us ... and the rest of the world. Now that you know everything, check out our gallery, you will find many vintage postcards devoted to this event now for next year ...
