The meaning of Mother's Day is to teach us to learn to respect our parents and care for our mothers.
Mother's Day is a festival to thank mothers and promote motherly love. Mother's Day is to awaken everyone's reverence for their mothers, the grace of childbirth, nurturing and education, and to advocate that we never forget to be grateful to our mothers. Mother's Day has become a customary holiday in China, and now, Mother's Day, which is celebrated on the second Sunday of May every year, has become a public holiday. As Mother's Day has become a public holiday, the people of China can finally express their deep feelings for their mothers in a big way on this day.
Mother's Day was first celebrated in ancient Greece on January 8 of each year, while in China, the United States, Canada and some other countries, it is celebrated on the second Sunday of May each year, with some other countries not having the same date. Mothers usually receive gifts on this day, and carnations are regarded as flowers dedicated to mothers, while our mother's flower is the daylily flower, also known as the forget-me-not.
Origin of Mother's Day:
Mother's Day originated in Greece, where the ancient Greeks honored Hera, the mother of the gods in Greek mythology. The meaning is: to remember our mother and her greatness and to pass on Chinese virtues. In the middle of the 17th century, Mother's Day spread to England, where the British celebrated the fourth Sunday of Lent as Mother's Day. On this day, young people who had been away from home would return home with small gifts for their mothers.
The first Mother's Day was celebrated on May 10, 1908, in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, where the carnation was chosen as the flower for mothers, and it has been passed down through the ages.
In 1913, the U.S. Congress passed a bill to make the second Sunday in May the official Mother's Day. Mother's Day has been passed down since then.
