母親節(jié)的來歷英文版：
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.
母親節(jié)的禮物選擇
第一類，貼心型母親。
這一類母親和兒女，更像是朋友，不僅相互理解還能互訴衷腸。送這一類母親節(jié)的禮物，可以從情趣紀念類入手，比如送上母親喜歡的香水、康乃馨花籃、以及金箔首飾擺件之類的，這些禮物，含有愛、魅力和尊敬之情。其中，淺紅色的代表著欽佩之情，深紅色的代表著深深的愛和關懷，而粉紅色的康乃馨最具有歷史意義和象征意義，成為不朽的母愛的象征。在現(xiàn)實中常和母愛聯(lián)系在一起。所以，即使工作再繁忙，也別忘了給母親捎上一束康乃馨，寫上你對母親愛的思語，而其他的禮物則有祝媽媽笑口常開、永遠快樂的美好寓意。
第二類，時尚型母親。
送時尚型媽媽的母親節(jié)禮物，一定要有時尚品位。讓她能夠更美更潮更有氣質(zhì)。比如你可以送宛轉婀娜的絲巾或高檔化妝品、護膚品、養(yǎng)顏美容品或類似塑身的魔力窈窕花草茶，有助于她保持窈窕身體和曲線魅力的禮物，對時尚型媽媽絕對是一個驚喜。
第三類，事業(yè)型母親。
工作事業(yè)是她的生活重心，圈兒廣，應酬多。母親節(jié)送給她的禮物不能太大眾，要和她身份、地位相稱，一切讓她顯得華貴、莊重、得體為最佳，如鑲鉆手表、品牌手包、皮草、披肩等，讓她顯得更加優(yōu)雅高貴，在職場里更加游刃有余。事業(yè)型媽媽平時工作忙，應酬多，你也可以送她養(yǎng)生茶，身體好，工作才能更好。
第四類，主婦型母親。
送她的母親節(jié)禮物，當然是為了讓她能更好的施展身手、照顧家庭的禮物，如營養(yǎng)隔水燉、廚房伴侶等等，圍繞“廚房”和“家”就對了。知冷知熱的兒女肯定知道媽媽每天照顧全家人會很累，送她一款按摩器、靠枕等，讓媽媽累了就歇歇，體會你的心疼。 主婦型的媽媽同事也是勤儉節(jié)約型的，代幣型的.禮物比如商場購物券絕對是上佳的選擇!
第五類，年邁型母親。
不經(jīng)意間，媽媽老了，腰彎了，發(fā)白了，步履蹣跚了。面對年邁的媽媽，除了噓寒問暖，更要關注她的健康。讓媽媽能夠長壽安康，滋補養(yǎng)生和保健品是送年邁型媽媽最好的禮物。如參類(花旗參、高麗參)、維他命、液體鈣、大蒜精以及按摩機、安眠降壓枕等都是不錯的選擇。
此外我們可以送母親一束康乃馨或者帶母親出門游玩吧，康乃馨代表著一種溫馨。它含有愛，魅力和尊敬之情。其中，淺紅色的代表著欽佩之情，深紅色的代表著深深的愛和關懷，而粉紅色的康乃馨最具有歷史意義和象征意義，成為不朽的母愛的象征。在現(xiàn)實中常和母愛聯(lián)系在一起。所以，即使工作再繁忙，也別忘了給母親捎上一束康乃馨，寫上你對母親愛的思語，當然，自己制作更別具意義了。
帶母親出門游玩放松心情最重要，更要真心陪伴。母親節(jié)這一天，你不妨拋開其他一切瑣事，與父親一起陪母親到比較安靜的地方散散步，放松放松心情。和母親談一些貼心話語，忘掉煩惱，盡情與母親共享春光明媚和溫馨的親情時光，當然，別忘了帶上相機給母親多留幾張影 。
事實上，母親并不在乎兒女送的禮物是不是好看的鮮花、好聞的香水、漂亮的衣服，母親看重兒女的是孝順、是生活中的如意、工作中的順利。這些才是母親節(jié)送母親最好的禮物。
