The History of Mother's Day: Where Does It Come From?

Did you know that theMother's Day dates back to Antiquity?

And yes, the Greeks celebrated Rhea , mother of the gods, and the Romans paid homage to the "matronas" during theMatronalia(ancient Roman festival dedicated to the matronae, that is to say married women, and especially mothers).
She was celebrated on March 1st, in honor of Juno Lucina,goddess of motherhood and childbirth.💡

The English then establish the"Mother Sunday" in the 16th century, and the Americans made it official"Mother's Day" at the beginning of the 20th century.

In France, the firstMother's Day was in 1918 in Lyon, in tribute to the bereaved mothers of the war.
It was then officially established in 1950, under the presidency of Vincent Auriol, then President of the French Republic (1947-1954), and a staunch advocate for social and family rights. 💪

Today, it takes place on thelast Sunday of May,except if it falls at the same time as Pentecost, in which case it is postponed to the first Sunday of June.
