Mother's Day
母亲节的由来英文版介绍资料
History of Mother′s Day
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.
