Mother's Day

Modern Mother’s Day began in the United States, at the initiative of Anna Jarvis in the early 20th century. For many countries, Mother’s Day is synonymous with older traditions and directly related to the many traditional celebrations of mothers and motherhood that have existed throughout the world over thousands of years, such as the Greek cult to Cybele, the mother god Rhea, the Roman festival of Hilaria, or the Christian Laetare Sunday celebration, associated with the image of Mother Church (Wikipedia).
