A Bit Of History On Mother's Day
It is believed that in ancient Greece this day emerged from a custom of mother worship, Cybele, a great mother of Greek gods. This festival was held around the Vernal Equinox in March.
In the United Kingdom and Ireland, Mothering Sunday, also called "Mother's Day", falls exactly three weeks before Easter Sunday.
It is believed that young apprentices and young women in servitude were released by their masters that weekend in order to visit their families. As a result of secularisation, it is now principally used to show appreciation to one's mother, although it is still recognised in the historical sense by some churches, with attention paid to Mary the mother of Jesus Christ as well as the traditional concept 'Mother Church'.
