Hers is the first face we all see as a baby. Her voice is so familiar, so reassuring it calms us down and lulls us to sleep. Mothers, we would not be on this earth without them, literally.
Mother’s Day is celebrated around the world to honor the best lady in our lives. The tradition dates back to 1914 when President Woodrow proclaimed it as the national holiday for acclaiming all mothers in the U.S. Since then, we have always observed it on the second Sunday of May.
Mother’s Day is popular in the United States and is prevalent in other countries around the world as well. Although some countries celebrate it during different months of the year, the spirit of the occasion is fervent everywhere.
Some say that the practice was influenced and introduced by enterprising companies that have enjoyed commercial success with the tradition here. One such company is Hallmark, the maker of the popular greeting cards.
The various countries adopted the custom and integrated it with some of their traditions to fit their culture. Today, it can even be considered an offense for not celebrating Mother’s Day in some countries. Such is the power and impact this tradition has had throughout the world.
We celebrate Mother’s Day in different ways as well, but some traditions are enduring. Flowers are the popular gifts, greeting cards (commercial and personally made), and other endearing trinkets. Some prefer to give non-material offerings such as going to church, doing chores, and cooking while letting the mom rest the whole day.
Some consider doing favors and granting requests that have remained unaccomplished for a long time. Many people honor their mothers by going on picnics, hosting parties, and family gatherings. A practice that has been gaining popularity is posting pictures and honorariums on social media to honor their moms. Others lavish their mothers with holiday trips or cruises, and other luxuries.
Mostly, a simple visit, a hug, and a kiss are worth all the wealth in the world for our dear moms.
We take this opportunity to thank our moms for all their love, care, and sacrifice. Mothers have always been our guiding light in times of trouble. Hers are the hands that pick us up when we fall. She is always there to comfort us, take care of us when we are sick.
People say that mothers run the house, managing it perfectly for the fathers, which could not be farther from the truth. Think of those working mothers who have to juggle household chores and contend with work. Those single mothers who endure challenging situations alone, but still cope.
Much can be said about the strength and courage of mothers wherever they live. Surely, they all deserve this honor we bestow on them during one of the most celebrated holidays in the world.
To pay homage to our dear mothers, we have gathered some of the most inspiring and endearing Mother’s Day quotes. We are quite sure you will enjoy them and hope that you share them with your moms.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the great Moms out there!
