Η Mother's Day, a day dedicated to her honor and appreciation maternity, is an opportunity to express our love and gratitude to mothers us. In the 2024, the celebration falls on Sunday, 12 May.
The contemporary Mother's Day has its roots in ancient Greece, where Gaia, Mother Earth, and Rhea, known as the "Mother of the Gods" were celebrated. These festivals celebrated fertility and reproduction, with an emphasis on divine and natural creation.
In Greece, the modern form of the celebration began in 1929, linking it to the Feast of the Assumption on February 2, where the Orthodox Church honors the Virgin Mary who takes the 40-day-old Jesus to the Temple for a blessing. This tradition reflects Sarandism, a practice continued by Christian mothers. However, since the 1960s, the celebration of the second Sunday in May began to be strengthened, following the Western tradition.
Internationally, the idea of modern Mother's Day started in the USA in the early 20th century by Anna Jarvis, who wanted to honor her mother her and all mothers. Her effort led to the official recognition of the holiday in 1914 by President Woodrow Wilson.
Nowadays, the Mother's Day it is celebrated in various ways, depending on the cultural tradition of each country. Common ways of celebrating include giving gifts, flowers, special meals, and personal expressions of gratitude. The day is a reminder of the invaluable contribution mothers make to our lives and an opportunity to express our love and appreciation for them.
