Mother’s Day is a beautiful occasion and perfect opportunity to express our gratitude for all the mothers who care for us unconditionally. We often find ourselves losing sight of the importance of our loved ones due to the nature of our ever changing, fast-paced lives these days so this year it feels more important than ever to celebrate our mothers in the best way possible.
On Sunday 27th March we need to celebrate all grandparents, aunties, sisters that show us care and commitment.
The dedicatory celebration of mother’s dates back to ancient Greek and Roman times where they would host festivals in honour of Rhea and Cybele who were mother goddesses but our contemporary celebration derives from a combination of the Christian festival of ‘Mothering Sunday’ and the story of Anna Jarvis from America who’s mother started ‘Mother’s Day Work Clubs’ which was designed to help mothers raise their children, she sought to make a day recognising the sacrifices mothers make for their children, following her mothers death in 1905. And this act of honouring the great women who nurture and care for us has thankfully regimented itself in society.
“A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take” – Cardinal Mermillod
