Mother's Day

Mother's Day

The earliest Mother's Day celebrations are traced back to the spring celebrations 

of ancient Greece in honor of Rhea, the Mother of Gods.

During the 1600's, England 

celebrated a day called

 "Mothering Sunday",celebrated

  on the 4th Sunday  of Lent.

"Mothering Sunday" honored 

the mothers of England.

In the United States Mother's

Day was first suggested in 1872

by Julia Ward Howe as a day 

dedicated to peace. 

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

Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which also celebrate Mother's Day on the second 

Sunday of May. 

 HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!
