We know that you are itching to get your hands on the best gift that you can afford for your mother. Also, you are on the lookout for the perfect set of words to wish her on her special day. But do you know why do we celebrate Mother\u2019s day? All good things (or bad ones) have their origin and Mother\u2019s day too has an interesting beginning.  Do you know the history behind the day? Come along to know everything that there is to know about the Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The history of mother\u2019s day goes way back to Greeks and Romans. They organised the festival in honour of the Mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele. However, the modern precedent for Mother\u2019s Day celebration is the festival of Mothering Sunday. It was celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent. Over the time, children started to present their mother with flowers and gifts as a token of their appreciation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Mother\u2019s Day is celebrated?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The credit for the modern mother\u2019s day celebration which is celebrated on the second Sunday of May goes to Anna Jarvis, an American who started this celebration. Ann Reeves Jarvis helped start Mother\u2019s Day Work Clubs to teach local women how to properly care for their children. Following the death of Ann reeves, her daughter Anna Jarvis conceived of a day dedicated to mothers and their sacrifices for children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After many letters, promotions, setbacks and campaigns, her persistence paid off. President Wilson decreed establishing the second Sunday of May as mother\u2019s day. Anna thought of the celebration as an opportunity to bond with mothers and to honor their sacrifices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mother\u2019s Day is celebrated throughout the world in some form or the other. The dates and traditions might vary, but the essence is the same. Some countries celebrate the day on International women\u2019s day, some celebrate it on the birthday of famous people and still, others celebrate it on other dates. The celebrations almost always see children amazing their mother with gifts, and their love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In India, we have always celebrated our mothers. Right from Ramayan to Mahabharata and other epics, all our religious texts and scriptures have given the highest respect to mothers. We take inspiration for the modern celebration of Mother\u2019s day from the USA. It is celebrated in India on the second Sunday of May. This year, it is going to be celebrated on May 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
