SUMMARY:Mother’s Day
DESCRIPTION:Mother’s Day is a holiday honoring motherhood that is observed in different forms throughout the world.\n \nWhy is Mother’s Day important?\n\nCelebrations of mothers and motherhood can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who held festivals in honor of the mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele, but the clearest modern precedent for Mother’s Day is the early Christian festival known as “Mothering Sunday.”\nOnce a major tradition in the United Kingdom and parts of Europe, this celebration fell on the fourth Sunday in Lent and was originally seen as a time when the faithful would return to their “mother church”—the main church in the vicinity of their home—for a special service.\nOver time the Mothering Sunday tradition shifted into a more secular holiday, and children would present their mothers with flowers and other tokens of appreciation. This custom eventually faded in popularity before merging with the American Mother’s Day in the 1930s and 1940s.\n\n \nHow to observe Mother’s Day\n\n\n Most moms simply wish to connect with their children and spend time with family in any way possible—if not in person, then with a phone call or video chat!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf your mom is at home, give her a day off from any family chores, especially during this difficult time. Someone else can take full responsibility for making or serving the food, clearing and cleaning the dishes, and doing the laundry. Volunteer!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n____________________________________________________\n\nTip:\n\n(Did you know? Netflix also has a way to watch together online. If you and your mom have a Netflix account and Chrome installed on her laptop or desktop, you can watch a movie together! There is even a group chat function for commenting live during the movie from wherever you are in the world. See Netflix Party.)\n____________________________________________________\nResources\n\n\n\nMother’s Day Facts\nMothers Day Info & Resources\nThe History of Mother’s Day\n\n\n\nWORKSHEETS:\n\nFill in the Blanks About Mom\nIt’s Mother’s Day!\nMother’s Day Anagram\nMother’s Day Crossword Puzzle\nMother’s Day Word Ladder\nMother’s Day Word Search\n\n\n\nReference Sites\n\nUN and other international NGO\nNon-Profits website for the observance\n\n
