‘Sweet Mother’, the 1976 song by Prince Nico Mbarga remains evergreen in the hearts of many because of its significance to everyone. Mothers, someone once said, are God’s gifts to mankind.
Washington Irving said: “A mother is the truest friend we have when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.”
All over the world, many successful people attribute their success to their mothers. It is therefore no surprise that a day has been set aside to celebrate mothers.
Mother’s Day is a modern celebration honouring one’s mother, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. All over the world, Mothers’ Day is celebrated commonly in the months of March or May with a lot of passion and ceremonies. This year, it is expected to hold on March 6thand May 8th (in the US). Like other festive seasons such as Christmas and Valentine’s Day, Mothers’ Day has lots of cards, presents and rituals attached to it.
The celebration of Mother’s Day began in the United States in the early 20th century. It specifically began in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother at St Andrew’s Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia.
In some countries, Mother’s Day has been changed to fit already existing celebrations honouring motherhood, such as Mothering Sunday in the United Kingdom.
However, motherhood shouldn’t be celebrated only on Mother’s Day but every day. Motherhood is about love, celebration, bonding, strength and sacrifice.
