Mother’s Day

The celebration of Mother’s Day goes back to the Spring revelries in Ancient Greece in devoted to the Mother of the Gods, Rhea (also known as Gaea, Gaia, Cybele, Meter and the Roman Magna Mater).

"The phrase "working mother" is redundant." – Jane Sellman

 

Roman records of this go back to at least 250BC This moved forward through the Roman and later cultures as Spring celebration. However in modern times the day we celebrate comes from two very different sources.
