This holiday originated in ancient Greece and Rome. The festival of gratitude for mothers is held annually in the spring and the Greeks at that time often sacrificed to the goddesses, especially the god Rhea – Mother of many gods in Greek mythology.
Besides, it is said that the origins of Mother’s Day first appeared in the UK around 1600. This day is celebrated every year, 40 days before Easter to pay tribute to the mother. On mother’s day, the children often had the custom of giving flowers or fruit cakes to their beloved mothers. However, this custom gradually fell into oblivion in the nineteenth century.
In the US, thanks to the patient patience and the heart of a girl named Anna Jarvis in Philadelphia – USA, Mother’s Day has become an official holiday. After her mother’s death, Anna was tormented by many things that had not been done for her, and by the indifferent attitude of the American people towards her mother. She was determined to fight to ask the US Senate to celebrate Mother’s Day nationwide.
