母亲节英语手抄报资料(material)：
despite popular belief, mother's day is not just a holiday
invented by hallmark, but rather it is a holiday dating back several millennia.
the earliest known mother’s day originated in ancient greece honoring rhea, mother of all deities, in an annual spring festival. the romans honored cybele, the same mother of all deities, and celebrated this festival by calling it the “hilaria.” early
christians continued the tradition by celebrating the virgin mary, on the fourth sunday of lent. in england, the celebration eventually expanded to include all mothers.
mother’s day was not an official holiday in the united states until 1914. modern americans can thank the perseverance and
determination of a woman named anna jarvis who, deeply devoted to her own mother, helped to make mother’s day an official . ’s mother, anna maria reeves jarvis, was an activist during the civil war and lost 8 of her 12 children before they reached adulthood. when she died in 1905, anna (daughter) was
distraught and vowed to devote her life to honoring her mother.
