❤️Mother’s Day is a holiday dedicated to mothers and motherhood, celebrated on different days in different countries around the world. It’s typically a day when people express their love, gratitude, and respect for their mothers. The history of this holiday has many origins and can vary across different cultures.
One of the earliest historical examples of a similar celebration dates back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who celebrated a holiday dedicated to Rhea, the mother of all gods in Greek mythology, considering it an important event.
The modern Mother’s Day generally traces its roots to the 20th century. In the early 20th century, there were many initiatives in the United States to establish a day dedicated to mothers and motherhood. In 1914, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the second Sunday of May as Mother’s Day, a national holiday.
Over time, Mother’s Day has become widely celebrated in many countries around the world, sometimes on different days. In different cultures, it may have different traditions and customs, but its core meaning always remains the recognition and appreciation of mothers for their love, sacrifice, and care.
Mother’s Day is celebrated at different times of the year in different countries and has different traditions. For example, in many European countries, including the UK and Ireland, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent. In other countries, such as Japan and India, this holiday is celebrated at different times in spring.
The name of the holiday may differ in different countries. For example, in France, it is called “Fête des Mères,” in Germany - “Muttertag,” in Spain - “Día de la Madre,” and in Arab countries - “عيد الأم” (Eid Al Omm).
In 2011, Thailand set a world record for the largest number of participants in a simultaneous Mother’s Day greeting. More than 200,000 people gathered to congratulate their mothers at a ceremony in one of the shopping centers.
One of the most common ways to congratulate a mother on this day is with gifts and flowers. In many countries, flowers, especially roses, are considered a traditional gift for Mother’s Day.
