祝天下母亲-母亲节快乐 :)

Mother's Day is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in March, April, or May as a day to honor mothers and motherhood.


Historical antecedents

there is evidence of mother goddess worship in the ancient world, dating back as far as 6.000 BC and many mother goddess shrines could be found in ancient times in Asia minor.

Ancient Greece imported the Mother Goddess cult from Asia Minor, in the form of a festival to Cybele, a great mother of Greek gods. It was held around the Vernal Equinox around Asia Minor. Originally they identified Cybele with Rhea, the mother of gods. The details were not recorded, and we only know that the goddess was attended by galli.

母亲节（Mother's Day），作为一个感谢母亲的节日，最早出现在古希腊，时间是每年的一月八日，而在中国、美国、加拿大和一些其他国家，则是每年5月的第二个星期天，其他一些国家的日期也并不一样。母亲们在这一天通常会收到礼物。康乃馨被视为献给母亲的花。


节日起源:
节日起源于古希腊。在这一天，古希腊人向希腊众神之母希布莉（Cybele，宙斯、波塞冬、哈德斯、得墨忒耳、赫拉和赫斯提亚的母亲，故称众神之母）致敬。到古罗马时，这些活动的规模就变得更大，庆祝盛况往往持续达三天之久。当然，古时人们对女神的崇拜只不过是一种迷信，它同今天人们对母性的尊敬是大不相同的。在17世纪中叶，母亲节流传到英国，英国人把封斋期的第四个星期天作为母亲节。在这一天里，出门在外的年轻人将回到家中，给他们的母亲带上一些小礼物。
