Did you know that Mother’s Day has been celebrated for a very long time?
The oldest reference we have related to a celebration of mothers comes since the time of Ancient Greece, where the beggining of Spring was celebrated in honor of “Réia” the mother of the Greek Gods, also in the ancient roman empire at the beggining of March “Matronalia” a 3 days festivity was celebrated in honor of “Cibele”, the mother of all gods.
But it was Anna Jarvis, a university teacher in the United States, that after loosing her mother, wrote to diferent religious, business and political entities in order to establish a day in homnage to the mothers. Having achieved her will, when the US Congress approved the creation of a “Mother’s Day”, wich would then be celebrated on the second sunday of May, being celebrated for the first time in may 9th 1914 the first Mother’s Day.
