Spring isn't just about watching the flowers bloom or
soaking up warmer temperatures. The dawn of spring also means another
Mother's Day is right around the corner.
Mother's Day is a
sentimental day for millions of people all over the world. You probably have
your own Mother's Day traditions. But, what's the story behind the holiday?
Why do we devote a day to our mothers?
How Mother's Day Began
The first people to wish each other a happy Mother's Day were most likely
the Ancient Greeks. Back in those days, the Ancient Greeks would celebrate
Cybele, the Mother of the Gods. Traditionally, this celebration was held in
conjunction with the Vernal Equinox - or, the day when the sun passes right
over the equator, signaling the start of spring.
But the Ancient
Greeks weren't alone. Over in Ancient Rome, people had their own
celebrations. In Rome, though, the party centered around Juno, the goddess
of childbirth. During what became known as the "Matronalia Festival",
husbands and children gave gifts to the mothers in their lives in an effort
to honor Juno.
Soon enough, the annual celebration made its way to
Europe. In the UK, Christians started honoring the Virgin Mary on a specific
Sunday each spring. Eventually, the day became known as "Mothering Sunday",
and it became such a big celebration that even the servants were given the
day off to go visit their mothers.
It was years before the tradition
made its way to the United States, though. In fact, it took a major tragedy
to get the country to start celebrating Mother's Day.
Right after the
Civil War ended, social activist and famed poet Julia Ward Howe thought a
day dedicated to mothers was just what the war-torn country needed. Howe
believed, by celebrating mothers, Americans were also celebrating peace -
and honoring the role women play in raising happy families.
Mother's
Day Today
Mother's Day may have ancient ties to religion, but, today,
people of all faiths and all backgrounds celebrate the day.
Some of
the most common traditions are:
- Sending a card and/or gifts to your
mother.
- Visiting your mother.
- Calling your mother (in
fact, Mother's Day is one of the most popular days to make long-distance
calls).
- Sending flowers to your mother.
No matter what your
ritual, Mother's Day has special meaning to families around the world. Most
families have created their own unique traditions in order to make the day
even more special.
