The story of Mothers Day is not a recent phenomenon as many people believe it to be. In reality, Mother’s Day celebra- tions are first said to have taken place in the time of ancient Greeks and Romans hundreds of years ago. The tradition of Mothers Day started with the ancient Greeks who celebrated their annual spring festival in honour of Rhea, the mother of many Gods and Goddesses in Greek mythology.
However, the 'Founder of Mothers Day' is considered to be a loving daughter from West Virginia, Anna Jarvis. Anna kept the word of her activist mother, Mrs Ann Marie Reeves Jarvis who once expressed a wish that someone should strive to provide mothers with their due recognition. After her mother’s death in 1905, Anna struggled harder and she along with several supporters started demanding to accept Mother’s Day as an official holiday. Anna began to send her mother’s favour- ite flowers, carnations in her local church requesting people to wear them in honour of their mothers. The idea gained immense popularity over the years and in 1910, West Virgin- ia became the first state to recognize Mother’s Day holiday.
Today Mothers Day is celebrated in more than 46 countries around the world at different times of the year.
In Russia, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the last Sunday of November. This day became popular amongst Russian women who declared a day for rebellion women struggling for equal rights in the 1940s. Mother’s Day in Russia is cele- brated with lots of excitement and fun. Mother’s Day is seen as an opportunity to promote a great bonding in the family.
Children thank their mothers for everything they have done for them. They thank them for their love and care. Young children give handmade cards and crafts to their mothers and write small quotes on them to express their deepest feelings.
