M O T H E R ’ S D A Y - S U N D A Y A P R I L 3 R DIn most countries, Mother's Day is a recent observance derivedfrom the holiday as it has evolved in North America and Europe.When it was adopted by other countries and cultures, it was givendifferent meanings, associated to different events (religious, historicalor legendary), and celebrated in a different date or dates.Some countries already had existing celebrations honoring motherhood,and their celebrations have adopted several external characteristicsfrom the US holiday, like giving carnations and otherpresents to your own mother.The extent of the celebrations varies greatly. In some countries, itis potentially offensive to one's mother not to mark Mother's Day.In others, it is a little-known festival celebrated mainly by immigrants,or covered by the media as a taste of foreign culture (comparethe celebrations of Diwali in the UK and the United States).In the Catholic Church, the holiday is strongly associated with reverencingthe Virgin Mary.In Hindu tradition it is called "Mata Tirtha Aunshi" or "MotherPilgrimage fortnight", and it is celebrated in countries with Hindupopulation, especially in Nepal.MOTHER’S DAY QUOTESMothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they aremore certain they are their own. ~AristotleMother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to dothe impossible. ~Marion C.
