Mother's Day is coming. It is a time to let your mother know she's special to you. Let's see the history of Mother's Day in different countries.
Long, long ago, in Greece, people celebrated a midMarch day. On that day they showed admiration to Rhea. Rhea was the Mother of the Gods.
Later, English people had their own "Mothering Sunday". It was the 4th Sunday of Lent(四月斋)before the Easter Eve. People usually bought a fruit cake as a gift to Mom. Today English people still celebrate the holiday on the 4th Sunday of Lent.
In America, Mother's Day is a national holiday today. People first celebrated it in 1908 in just one state in the United States. It was all because of Anna M. Jarvis's hard work. She wrote so many letters to important people of that time because she wanted to have a day to show love and admiration to mothers. In 1914,the American President Woodrow Wilson made the second Sunday in May Mother's Day.
