Mother's Day
Mother's Day is a festival respecting the mother of the family, just as parenthood, maternal bonds, and the impact of moms in the public eye. It is praised on different days in numerous pieces of the world, most ordinarily in the long periods of March or May. It supplements comparable festivals respecting relatives, for example, Father's Day, Siblings Day, and Grandparents Day.
The modern Mother's Day began in the United States, at the initiative of Anna Jarvis in the early 20th century. This is not (directly) related to the many traditional celebrations of mothers and motherhood that have existed throughout the world over thousands of years, such as the Greek cult to Cybele, Rhea the Great Mother of the Gods, the Roman festival of Hilaria, or the Christian Mothering Sunday celebration (originally a commemoration of Mother Church, not motherhood). However, in some countries, Mother's Day is still synonymous with these older traditions.
The modern holiday of Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a remembrance for her mom at St Andrew's Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia.
