The History of Mother’s Day
A mother’s relationship with her children is arguably the purest form of love. A mother is a pillar of strength, a friend, a mentor and a saviour. The modern mother doubles as a superhero, managing the affairs of her home, her career, her family, and most importantly, her children.
Celebrations of Mother’s Day can be traced back to Ancient Greeks and Romans, who held a festival to honour Goddesses Rhea and Cybele. Mother’s Day also has roots in the early Christian festival known as “Mothering Sunday”, which falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent.
The Mothering Sunday tradition shifted over time into a more secular holiday where children gave gifts to their mothers to honour their presence and influence in their lives.
In the present day, Mother’s Day is a celebration for mothers of all kinds, from expectant mothers to mothers and even grandmothers. The symbolism of the Mother is that of the Goddesses or Mother Nature, and she too is commemorated on this day.
