Mother's Day is a time to thank your mother. Modern Mother's Day originated in America, and it is the second Sunday in May every year. Mothers usually receive gifts on this day. Carnation is considered as a flower dedicated to mother, and China's mother flower is Hemerocallis, also known as the girl without sorrow.

The origin of festivals

Mother's Day originated in America. The founder of this festival is anna jarvis, a Philadelphia native. This woman has never been married and has no children. 1906 On May 9th, anna jarvis's mother passed away, and she was very sad. The following year, on the anniversary of his mother's death, Jarvis organized activities to commemorate his mother and encouraged others to express their gratitude to their beloved mother in a similar way.

Jarvis wrote to Andrews Methodist Church in grafton, West Virginia, asking for a special memorial service for her mother. Her mother served the Sunday school of this church for more than 20 years before her death. 1908, the church declared the anniversary of Jarvis' mother's death-the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day. Jarvis also organized a Mother's Day Committee and began a large-scale publicity, calling for Mother's Day as a legal holiday.

Her appeal received a warm response. 1913 On May 10, the US Senate and House of Representatives passed a resolution, and President Wilson signed an announcement to decide that the second Sunday in May is Mother's Day every year. This move has caused countries all over the world to follow suit. By the time Jarvis died in 1948, Mother's Day had been established in 43 countries.

Festivals are the crystallization and carrier of national culture. A large part of cultural memory is the memory of festivals. Many years later, many past events have been forgotten, but the festival scenes are vivid. At the same time, festivals have the characteristics of wide coverage, constant repetition and entertaining, which have had a profound impact on people. Therefore, major interpersonal festivals are very important to cultivate national spirit and cohesion. The real Mother's Day should be rooted in the heart to experience the mother's love.
