母亲节英文手抄报：母亲节的由来和诗歌
mother's daythe 2nd sunday in may (universally)
mother's day is a time of commemoration and celebration for mom. it is a time of breakfast in bed, family gatherings, and crayon scribbled "i love you"s.
the earliest mother's day celebrations can be traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient greece in honor 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 (the 40 day period leading up to easter), "mothering sunday" honored the mothers of england.
during this time many of the 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 honor 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 honoring their mothers as well as the church.
