Mother's Day is a special and meaningful day celebrated on various dates around the world. On this special and meaningful day, those who want to show love and gratitude to their mothers prepare various gifts and surprises.
HOW DID MOTHER'S DAY EMERGE?
Mother's Day celebrations first emerged in Greek mythology. According to the belief, the foundation of Mother's Day was laid during the annual spring festival held in honor of Rhea, who is considered the mother of many gods and goddesses.
Subsequently, the Ancient Romans also began celebrating their spring festivals in honor of the mother goddess Cybele 250 years before the birth of Jesus.
In the USA, the memorial day that Anna Jarvis started in 1908 for her own mother, whom she had lost, expanded across the United States with Congressional approval in 1914.
Afterward, the celebrations began to be held worldwide.
