　　The history of Mother's Day

　　The earliest Mother's Day celebrations are traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honor of Rhea, the Mother of the Gods.

　　During the 1600's, England celebrated a day called “Mothering Sunday”， celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent . “Mothering Sunday” honored the mothers of England. During this time many of the England's poor worked as servants for the wealthy. As most jobs were located far from their homes, the servants would live at the houses of their employers.

　　On Mothering Sunday the servants would have the day off and were encouraged to return home and spend the day with their mothers. A special cake, called the mothering cake, was often brought along to provide a festive touch.

　　As Christianity spread throughout Europe the celebration changed to honor the “Mother Church” -- the spiritual power that gave them life and protected them from harm. Over time the church festival blended with the Mothering Sunday celebration . People began honoring their mothers as well as the church.

　　In the United States Mother's Day was first suggested in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe as a day dedicated to peace.

　　In 1907 Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother's Day. Ms. Jarvis persuaded her mother's church in Grafton, West Virginia to celebrate Mother's Day on the second anniversary of her mother's death, the 2nd Sunday of May. By the next year Mother's Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia.

　　Ms. Jarvis and her supporters began to write to ministers, businessman, and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mother's Day. It was successful, by 1911 Mother's Day was celebrated in almost every state. President Woodrow

　　Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother's Day a national holiday that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May.

　　While many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother's Day at different times throughout the year, there are some countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which also celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May.

　　Richer Than Gold

　　Strickland Gillilan (1869-1954)I had a mother who read me things .That wholesome life to the boy heart brings .Stories that stir with an upward touch,Oh, that each mother of boys were such!

　　You may have tangible wealth untold,Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.Richer than I you can never be .I had a mother who read to me.

　　為什么會(huì)有母親節(jié)這個(gè)說(shuō)法

　　母親節(jié)的傳統(tǒng)起源于古希臘。在一月八日這一天，古希臘人向希臘眾神之母瑞亞致敬。到古羅馬時(shí)，這些5.10母親節(jié)活動(dòng)的規(guī)模就變得更大，慶祝盛況往往持續(xù)達(dá)三天之久。當(dāng)然，古時(shí)人們對(duì)女神的崇拜只不過(guò)是一種迷信，它同今天人們對(duì)母性的尊敬是大不相同的。17世紀(jì)中，母親節(jié)流傳到英國(guó)，英國(guó)人把封齋期的第四個(gè)星期天作為母親節(jié)。在這一天里，出門(mén)在外的年輕人將回到家中，給他們的母親帶上一些小禮物。

　　1876年，美國(guó)還在悲悼南北戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的死者。安娜·查維斯夫人在禮拜母親節(jié)由來(lái)堂講授美國(guó)國(guó)殤紀(jì)念日的課程，講到戰(zhàn)役中捐軀的英雄故事后，她進(jìn)行祈禱時(shí)說(shuō)：“但愿在某處、某時(shí)，會(huì)有人創(chuàng)立一個(gè)母親節(jié)，紀(jì)念和贊揚(yáng)美國(guó)與全世界的母親。”

　　現(xiàn)在世界流行的母親節(jié)是5月的第二個(gè)星期日，是美國(guó)最先設(shè)立的。1914年，美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)國(guó)會(huì)正式命名5月的第二個(gè)星期日為母親節(jié)，并要求總統(tǒng)發(fā)布宣言，號(hào)召政府官員在所有的公共建筑物上懸掛國(guó)旗。緊接著，威爾遜總統(tǒng)昭告全國(guó)公民也在自己的住宅上掛國(guó)旗以表達(dá)人們對(duì)美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)全體母親的熱愛(ài)和尊敬。此后美利堅(jiān)合眾國(guó)總統(tǒng)每年都要發(fā)表一篇內(nèi)容相同的宣言。此后，母親節(jié)便在各國(guó)開(kāi)展。母親節(jié)是在中國(guó)港澳臺(tái)地區(qū)流行起來(lái)之后才進(jìn)入大陸的。
