Mothers Day

Welcome back!

I Love You Mom

Mothers Day, an ancient tradition

It began in Ancient Greece, with a special day of festivities to celebrate Rhea, the mother of the gods. Eventually, this custom translated across the seas to England where the Christian Church held an annual ritual in honor of Mary, the Mother of Christ. Even later, re-named Mothering Sunday, the celebration was extended to exalt all mothers.

Eventually, the age-old custom re-emerged in the United States in 1907 when Anna M. Jarvis orchestrated her first Mother’s Day church service. She handed out white flowers to reflect what she saw as her Mum’s ‘sweetness, purity and patience’. This lovely gesture is often repeated now in the 21st century – although with bouquets of flowers of all varieties and hues.
The idea of having a special day ‘caught on’ across the US and in 1914, US President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the second Sunday in May as a national holiday in honor of mothers.

Today, Mother’s Day is a very special day joyfully celebrated in hundreds of countries right around the globe. Join us in paying homage to the wonderful women who gave us life… our mothers!

Adopt a Mom for Mother Day

Have you thought about contributing to your community? Mother’s Day can offer you a chance to support and recognize some deserving women:

Single Moms: We take off our hats to single mothers who take the responsibility to raise their children alone. It’s a tough job even at the best of times. If you know a single mother, spoil her this Mother’s Day or at least tell her what a great job she is doing.

Lonely Mothers: This mother’s day will come and go with many elderly mothers in nursing homes watching their friends receive visits from family. If you are brave and can spare an hour, you can make a huge difference by visiting women who have contributed to their community in their time. If you have young children, take them along; they are great icebreakers and benefit from early community involvement.

Refugee Mothers: Every country has its shares of refugees, with stories of pain, despair and loss. Imagine, some of these women have lost their family, their home and community. Beginning a new life in a very foreign place, especially when language is an issue can be daunting. A simple thing like offering to take a refugee mum on a shopping trip can make a world of difference. Most cities have a refugee or asylum seekers support center where you can make further enquiries.
