History of Mother's Day and Gifts Ideas to celebrate

Make this Mother's Day most memorable for the first special girl in your life, by giving her mother's day gifts. Mother's Day is a celebration of motherhood. Giving a gift to your mother is a way of showing appreciation and express thanks to her. Different countries celebrate Mother's Day on different days because they have varied origins.Body: The Ancient Greek and Roman cultures can be said to be the discoverers of the tradition of honoring our mothers. The first Mother's Day ceremonial was a church service in 1908 requested by Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia, to honor her deceased mother, Jarvis, at an early age, had heard her mother express hope that a day to honor all mothers would be established. So, in 1914, Congress passed legislation designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day.There is also some evidence of a festival prevailing in the British Isles and Celtic Europe where a festival called the “Spring Mother's Day” was celebrated in honor of Goddess Brigid. However, these festivals are totally different from the present Mother's Day in that they celebrated the concept of motherhood rather than giving honor and respect to the immediate mothers.Mother's Day is attributed to this day as a celebration of womanhood, when we celebrate not only the involvement that a mother makes within her family by nurturing her children but also the contribution she makes to the society at large. Because of our mother only today we are perfectly grown-up. Mother takes us under her protection right from the day we are born. She feeds us, gives us medicines, looks after our growth and teaches us to walk and play. We always thank our friends, co-workers or every body who helps us. What about our mother? When shall we thank her for bringing us up, for the sleepless nights she had because of us, for cleaning us during our childhood, for giving us birth? A mother deserves much more than a single Mother's Day. She should be sent a “Thank You Gifts” everyday. No thank can ever repay mother's debt, but at least we will make her happy by sending her gift on Mother's Day. Below are some gift ideas and suggestions.Flowers: An esteemed symbol of love, loyalty, gratitude
