母親節來歷英文版簡短
In the U.S. Mothers" Day is a holiday celebrated on second Sunday in May. It is a day when children honor their mothers with cards, gifts, and flowers. First observance in Philadelphia, Pa. in 1907, it is based on suggestions by Julia Ward Howe in 1872 and by Anna Jarvis in 1907.

Although it wasn"t celebrated in the U.S. until 1907, there were days honoring mothers even in the days of ancient Greece. In those days, however, it was Rhea, the Mother of the gods that was given honor.
Later, in the 1600"s, in England there was an annual observance called "Mothering Sunday." It was celebrated during June, on the fourth Sunday. On Mothering Sunday, the servants, who generally lived with their employers, were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers. It was traditional for them to bring a special cake along to celebrate the occasion.
In the U.S., in 1907 Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother"s Day. 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. The next year Mother"s Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia.
Jarvis and others began a letter-writing campaign to ministers, businessmen, and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mother"s Day. They were successful. President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother"s Day a national observance that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May.
Many other countries of the world celebrate their own Mother"s Day at different times throughout the year. Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium celebrate Mother"s Day on the second Sunday in May, as in the U.S.

母親節的節日特色
在胸前佩戴石竹花。顏色是有講究的'。那些母親已經去世的人佩戴白色石竹花,而母親健在的人則佩戴紅色石竹花。這一天,人們總要想方設法使母親愉快地度過節日,感謝和補償她們一年的辛勤勞動。最普通的方式是向母親贈送母親節卡片和禮物。節日里,每個母親都會滿懷喜悅的心情,接受孩子們和丈夫贈送的玫瑰花或其他花束、糖果、書和紀念品,特別是當她們收到小孩子們自己動手制作的上面用蠟筆稚氣地寫著“媽媽,我愛你”的字樣的卡片時,更會感到格外自豪和欣慰。但最珍貴、最優厚的禮物還是把她們從日常的家務勞動中解放出來,輕松地休息一整天。
這一天,許多家庭都由丈夫和孩子們把全部家務活包下來,母親不必做飯,不必洗盤刷碗,也不必洗衣服。不少家庭還有侍候母親在床上吃早飯的慣例。母親節創立后,得到了全世界各國人民的支持。Amanm Jarvis在世時,設立母親節的國家已達43個。時至今日,歡慶這個節日的國家就更多了。母親節,已經成了一個名副其實的國際性節日。按慣例,“國際母親節”被定在每年的5月11日舉行。雖然,有一些國家是在一年中不同的時節慶祝屬于他們的母親節,然而,包括我國在內的多數國家,如丹麥、芬蘭、意大利、土耳其、澳大利亞和比利時等等,都是在5月的第二個星期日慶祝母親節的。
