La Mother's Day it is a celebration that is celebrated every year on the second Sunday of May. To be honored is the figure of the mother and motherhood.
The origins
PAVEMENTS Greeks and Romans they used to dedicate, in their time, a day to their mother, celebrating the goddess Rhea, mother of all gods, even with a whole week of festivities.
In Britain in the 600th century, there was the Mothering Sunday, the fourth Sunday of Lent dedicated to the mother, the day when those who worked far from home could come back and honor her by offering her a cake, the Mothering cake. Over time, the pagan festival also became sacred, celebrating both the Mother of the Church and the "earthly" mother.
But the true origins of Mother's Day date back to 1872, when in the United States Julia Ward Howe proposed to establish a day dedicated to peace and reflection against the war that took children away from their mothers, calling it Mother's Day for Peace (Mother's Day for Peace), but without much success.
in 1912 Anna Jarvis established the party Mother’s Day (Mother's Day), in memory of his mother, a pro-peace activist. The celebration was made official in 1914 by President Woodrow Wilson and set for the second Sunday in May.
since Mother's Day has spread all over the world, even if the recurrence date varies from country to country. Today it is the third most celebrated festival after Christmas and Easter.
