Mother's Day is a national holiday in America. It is held on the second Sunday of May every year. Mother's Day originated from the folk customs of ancient Greece. At that time, the ancient Greeks held a grand celebration for Sebia, the legendary mother of gods and the symbol of human mother, every spring. But mother's day has not yet formed.
Mother's Day was initiated by a woman named Jarvis and founded by her daughter anna jarvis.
Mrs Jarvis was a mother of 65,438+00 children, and was then the director of the church Sunday school in grafton. After the American Civil War aimed at liberating black slaves, she was in charge of the Memorial Day course at school. Jarvis is a kind-hearted and compassionate woman. She told the story of heroes who died for justice in the war. Looking at the childish faces of the children in the audience, an idea suddenly came to my mind: didn't mothers contribute so many brave soldiers to the motherland to ensure the victory of the war? Didn't these unknown mothers suffer the greatest pain and sacrifice because of their sons' bloody battles? So she suggested setting up a memorial day or Mother's Day to give these ordinary women some comfort and express their filial piety to their mothers. Unfortunately, Mrs Jarvis died before this wonderful wish came true. Her daughter, anna jarvis, witnessed the hardships that her mother paid in the process of raising herself and her brothers and sisters, and deeply felt that her mother's proposal was reasonable. Therefore, she wrote dozens of letters and sent them to the US Congress. The local governor and women's organizations proposed to set up Mother's Day. Under her repeated appeals, this proposal has been widely responded and supported by the society.
19 14, American President Wilson solemnly announced that the second Sunday of May every year, that is, the anniversary of Mrs. Jarvis' death, was designated as Mother's Day. The American government also stipulates that every family should hang the national flag on Mother's Day to show respect for their mothers. Because Mrs Jarvis loved carnations before her death, this flower became a symbol of Mother's Day.
Mother's Day is a festival full of human warmth. On this day, the male members of the family should be responsible for all the housework, and every child should do something to make his mother happy to express his filial piety. Even children in different places should call their mothers to congratulate them. On this day, Americans wear a flower on their chest. If mother is alive, wearing a colorful flower means happiness; If mother dies, wear a white flower to express grief.
After Mother's Day was founded, it also won the support of people all over the world. When anna jarvis was alive, Mother's Day had been established in 43 countries. Today, more countries celebrate this festival. Mother's Day has become a veritable international festival. Traditionally, May 1 1 day is "International Mother's Day".
Mother's Day in Japan is also the second Sunday in May. During the festival, people give their mother a red carnation to express their congratulations.
1928 Mother's Day was celebrated for the first time in France, and the festival was scheduled for the last Sunday in May. On this day, millions of mothers accept their children's "Happy Holidays" with joy.
Thailand declared August 12 as Mother's Day in 1976. This day is also the birthday of Queen Li Ji of Thailand. During the festival, the whole country will carry out "excellent mothers" selection activities. The children presented fragrant jasmine flowers to their mothers.
In many Arab countries, Mother's Day is set on March 2 1 day, that is, the "vernal equinox". The local people think that the "vernal equinox" is the beginning of spring and the beginning of a year, which shows the greatness of mother. February 8, 65438 is Mother's Day in Portugal; Indonesia is scheduled for 65438+February 22nd.
Mother's Day is a regional festival in China, which was first held in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. After the reform and opening up, Mother's Day was also accepted by the mainland. Guangdong province starts from 1988, and Hangzhou and other cities start from 1989. Women's federations at all levels organize mother's day celebrations and select "good mothers" as one of the festival contents.
