Mums have been
around forever, their efforts taken much for granted and seldom acknowledged.
But there is a day when mothers are made much of - with gifts, flowers, cards
and calls that say "Hey Mum, I do love you (never mind the shouting,
snapping and snarling)!" And mums being Mums, they shed a tear, grin and
bear the attention and wait for their kids to revert to proto-typical every day
behavior!
Mother’s
Day
was first celebrated in ancient Greece during the Spring Festivities honoring
Rhea, the Mother of the Gods. Rhea was lucky- her kids were super-human and she
the mother of all mothers!
Celebrations of
mothers and motherhood occur throughout the world. Many of these trace back to
ancient festivals. The modern Mother's Day has been assimilated into Indian
culture , and it is celebrated on every year on second Sunday of May. In India
mothers are considered as god to their children. The Indians do not celebrate
the occasion as a religious one, but do their best to thank their mothers for
care and love.
That is a
tradition in India to give a highest position to mothers. As the spiritual
background is so effective in India so Indians celebrates this day with lots of
respect to their mothers.
Being a
full-time mother is
one of the highest salaried
jobs... since the
payment is pure love. -Mildred
