Mother's Day History

It was in Egypt where the first celebrations in honor of mothers arise. There he paid tribute to Isis, the Great Mother Goddess of this civilization. The next record of the celebration of Mother's Day goes back to ancient Greece, where the goddess Rhea was honored; and in Rome, when he began to celebrate a day dedicated to Cibeles, his mother goddess.

Later, in seventeenth-century England, where English aristocrats gave their servants a few days to rest and visit their mothers; During those days a cake called "Mothering Cake" was prepared which was eaten on Sunday called "Mother's Sunday".

If we want to know the origin of Mother's Day today we have to leave until 1870 in Boston, United States, when activist Julia Ward Howe organized a meeting to which she invited all the mothers who had been victims of the war of American Secession.

But it was Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia in 1908 in the United States to whom we should be grateful that the celebration of Mother's Day has been officially consolidated. It was after the death of her own mother in 1905 when she decided to write to teachers, religious, politicians, lawyers and personalities of the country to support her in her project to dedicate a day to all the mothers of the world. Only two years later, Mother's Day was celebrated in almost the entire United States, and in 1914, President Wilson turned Mother's Day into an official celebration.

However, the progressive commercialization that over time was acquiring the celebration of Mother's Day disappointed Anna, who even demanded that florists refuse to sell flowers: the main gift on Mother's Day. She ended up being the one who started the protests that led to her arrest and the beginning of her hostility towards the holiday she had driven.
