Mother´s day

Mother's Day also called Mother's Day has its origins in the early twentieth century, when a young American woman, Anna Jarvis, lost her mother and went into complete depression.Concerned that suffering, some friends had the idea of ​​perpetuating the memory of the mother of Annie with a party.Annie wanted to be extended to honor all mothers, living or dead. Soon, the celebration and therefore Mother's Day spread by the United States and in 1914, the date was made official by President Woodrow Wilson: May 9.
The earliest celebration of Mothers day is mythological. In ancient Greece, the entrance of spring was celebrated in honor of Rhea, the Mother of the gods.The next record is in the early seventeenth century, when England began to dedicate the fourth Sunday of Lent to the English working mothers. That day, the workers took off to stay home with their mothers. It was called "Mothering Day", a fact which gave rise to "mothering cake", a cake for mothers who make the day even more festive.In the U.S., the first hints for the establishment of a date for the celebration of the mothers were given in 1872 by writer Julia Ward Howe, author of The Battle Hymn of the Republic.In Brazil, in 1932, then-president Getulio Vargas officiated at the date on the second Sunday of May. In 1947, Don Jaime de Barros Camara, Cardinal-Archbishop of Rio de Janeiro, has determined that this date also was part of the official calendar of the Catholic Church.In Portugal, the Mother's Day is celebrated on the first Sunday in May.Israel on Mother's Day is no longer celebrated, coming into existence Family Day in February.
