Why do we celebrate Mother’s Day?
Mother’s
day is the celebration of motherhood for all the lovable mothers in the world.
It was first celebrated in 1908 when Anna Jarvis held as the memorial event for
her mother in West Virginia, inviting the other mothers to honor them. It
generally falls in the month of May or March in different countries.
It
is the way to honor the mothers for their support, love and everything they do
for their children. The celebration founds its roots to the Roman and Greek
periods if looked back. The ancestors used to celebrate the similar festival of
motherhood to honor their mother goddess.
Rhea and Cybele are considered the
mother goddesses who were worshiped on an occasion in Christianity, named as
Mothering Sunday.
To
show appreciation towards their own mothers, along with all the mothers on
earth, the day gained popularity in many countries. People easily accepted this
Christian tradition later and the festival became universal.
