The origin of Mother's Day How are Mother's Days different in different countries?
My mother taught me Buxu, and Sanyuan sent me down to Penghu. As Mother's Day is approaching, I would like to introduce to you the origin of Mother's Day. The Fortune Teller website has carefully compiled detailed information about the third month of the lunar calendar in 2018. If you want to know about the auspiciousness and inauspiciousness of the lunar calendar days in the third month, please come to Mr. Shui Mo!Origin of Mother's DayThe Mother's Day holiday was first proposed by Americans, and the International Mother's Day Association was first established in the United States, and then it gradually spread to the world.After the American Civil War, an American woman named Jarvis, after seeing the pain endured by the mothers whose sons went to the battlefield, decided to call on the country to establish a special remembrance day or Mother's Day to comfort these mothers whose sons went to the battlefield. Unfortunately, Mrs. Jarvis passed away before her wish was fulfilled, so what she wanted to do was taken over by her daughter Anna Jarvis. Following her mother's wishes, Anna Jarvis sent dozens of letters to Congress, governors, women's organizations and other national organizations advocating the establishment of Mother's Day. At the same time, she actively appealed, which finally received great response and support from the society. In 1912, the United States established the International Mother's Day Association. In 1914, US President Wilson officially announced that the second Sunday in May each year (the anniversary of Mrs. Jarvis' death) would be designated as Mother's Day. On this day, government officials across the United States were required to fly the national flag on all public buildings and designate Mrs. Jarvis' favorite carnation as the symbol of Mother's Day. After that, Mother's Day was welcomed by most countries internationally, starting with Canada, Mexico and other countries. So far, almost the whole world celebrates Mother's Day. How is Mother's Day different in different countries?China: Mother's Day is a regional holiday in our country, and it was first celebrated in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. It was not until the reform and opening up that Mother's Day began to be accepted in the mainland. China's current Mother's Day is on the second day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, with Meng's mother as its symbol. Indonesia: Mother's Day in this country is on December 22 every year. Portugal: The Portuguese celebrate Mother's Day on December 8th every year. Arabs: Arabs believe that the vernal equinox is the beginning of spring and can represent the greatness of maternal love, so they set the vernal equinox (March 21) of each year as Mother's Day. Thailand: Mother's Day in Thailand was established in 1976 on August 12, which happens to be the birthday of Queen Rikit. Japan: Mother's Day in Japan is the same as in the United States, which is the second Sunday in May. France: Mother's Day in France is on the last Sunday in May. |
