Why do we celebrate Mother's Day?
Happy Mothers Day to beautiful, amazing Mumma's in the world. Nothing beats your love, strength and care and innumerable sacrifices they make. This line sums it all- "Is Duniya Mein Sabse Bada Yodha Maa Hoti Hai" It is a day to celebrate motherhood as well as maternal bond.
"M" is for mom in almost every country. If you search the word "mother or mom" in other languages, you would find the most of these words starts through the letter "M". This is said to be attributed to the sound "Muh" as one of the 1st sounds that the baby makes when they are trying to speak as associative primary caregiver usually with mom, along with the smooth sound "Muh".
A small poem by my friend Siddesh Thorat...
मॉं
रब से मैंने की दुआ, मुझे रहना तेरे साथ है।
उसने दिया मुझे इक वरदान, जो मुझे लाया तेरे पास है।
बचपन के उस रेंगणे से मैने फट - फट चलना सीखा।
ना बदली कुछ आदते, जैसे तेरा काला टीका।
ममता ने तेरी मुझमें, कुछ ऐसी शक्ति जगाई।
कंटकमय समय के जाल से, मैं हरदम जितते आईं।
मॉं बस रखना तेरी छाया, जिससे सफल हमेशा बनती रहुं।
चाहे तिनों लोक जितु, पर तेरी बच्ची बनी रहुं।
The ancient Greeks were amongst the 1st to pay tribute to mother. Their spring festival for the mother Riera who is the mother of all Greek gods. In medieval Britain, servants were given the 4th Sunday to travel home and spend the day with the mother This custom was called "Mothering Sunday".
But the modern era Sunday was created by Anna Jarvis. She admired her mother who attended the wounded during America's civil war and later becomes the community activists. When her mom died in may of 1905 a plan for a holiday was born to attribute mothers work!. Later she contacted philanthropist John in Philadelphia to join the mothers day committee in hopes of honouring all the mothers all across the nation.
In 1910 Anna got congress federally to recognise the 2nd Sunday of the May month the holiday and in 1914 President Wilson signed and officially made 2nd Sunday of the May as the Mothers day.
The holiday was meant to spend in church, sons and daughters would write loving letters to their mothers, Pink and red coloured flowers were honoured to mothers who were amongst them and white colours for who have passed. By 1920 reading card companies got into the mothers day business. Anna was enraged by what she considered a lazy excuse for not giving handwritten letters but by buying them!! The holiday creator was soo upset by the commercialisation of the celebration and later she petitioned to abolish the celebration. In 1930 Anna was arrested to disturbing the peace at the mothers day carnations. Sadly Anna spends the rest of her life and family inheritance, fighting the holiday. She died in 1948 leaving no children to remember her. Since then mothers day becomes one of the profitable holidays, This probably wouldn't please Anna but deep down she would be satisfied that on the mothers day that millions of mom around the world receive extra attention and well deserved hugs.
