History
of Mothers Day
The
earliest Mother's Day celebrations can be traced back to the spring
celebrations of ancient Greece in honour of Rhea, the Mother of
the Gods. During the 1600's, England celebrated a day called "Mothering
Sunday". Celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent. "Mothering
Sunday" honoured the mothers of England.
During
this time many of England's poor worked as servants for the wealthy.
As most jobs were located far from their homes, the servants would
live at the houses of their employers. On Mothering Sunday the servants
would have the day off and were encouraged to return home and spend
the day with their mothers. A special cake, called the mothering
cake, was often brought along to provide a festive touch.
As
Christianity spread throughout Europe the celebration changed to
honour the "Mother Church" - the spiritual power that
gave them life and protected them from harm. Over time the church
festival blended with the Mothering Sunday celebration. People began
honouring their mothers as well as the church.
While
many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother's Day at
different times throughout the year, there are some countries such
as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which
celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May.
