Many countries around the world celebrate Mother's Day, although at different times.
On Mother's Day, only mothers and pregnant women are honored, not all members of the fairer sex.
History of the development of the holiday
From the 17th to the 19th centuries, “Mother's Sunday” was celebrated in Great Britain. On this day, boys and girls who worked as apprentices or servants, returning home, brought fruit pie as a gift to their mothers. Traditionally, this ancient English holiday was celebrated on March 22.
Similar traditions are known in the provinces of Champagne (France) and Walloon (Belgium).

Mother's Day in Russia
In Russia, Mother's Day began to be celebrated relatively recently. Established by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation B.N. Yeltsin No. 120 “On Mother’s Day” dated January 30, 1998, it is celebrated on the last Sunday of November, paying tribute to mothers’ work and their selfless sacrifice for the benefit of their children.
- There is the most tender word in the world:
- It is pronounced by children in infancy,
- He is remembered in separation and torment -
- "Mother!"
There are words in this wide world
which we call saints.
And one of those holy, warm
affectionate words - this is the word “MOM”.
The word that the child says most often
just the word “MOM”. The word that makes an adult, gloomy person smile is also the word “MOM”.
Children are the most precious thing for a mother. Happy is the one who has known mother's love, affection, and care since childhood. And children should respond to her in the same way - love, attention, care. We treat with respect and gratitude those people who respectfully pronounce the name of their mother until they turn gray and protect her old age.
Mom, very, very
I love you!
I love you so much that at night
I don't sleep in the dark.
I peer into the darkness
I'm hurrying Zorka.
I love you all the time
Mommy, I love you!
The dawn is shining.
It's already dawn.
No one in the world
There is no better mother!
- Mom, very, very I love you! I love you so much that at night I don't sleep in the dark. I peer into the darkness I'm hurrying Zorka. I love you all the time Mommy, I love you! The dawn is shining. It's already dawn. No one in the world There is no better mother!
- Mom, very, very I love you! I love you so much that at night I don't sleep in the dark. I peer into the darkness I'm hurrying Zorka. I love you all the time Mommy, I love you! The dawn is shining. It's already dawn. No one in the world There is no better mother!

There is no person in the world dearer and closer than a mother. Her love for children is boundless, selfless, and full of dedication. And motherhood in Rus' has always been equivalent to a synonym for holiness.
Named Mother Rain knocks on the window like a frozen bird. But she will not fall asleep, continuing to wait for us. Today I want to bow to the ground to our Russian woman, named MOTHER. The one who gave us life in agony, the one who sometimes did not sleep at night. Warm hands pressed her to her chest. And she prayed for us to all the Holy Images. The one who asked God for happiness, For the health of her daughters and sons. Every new step we took was like a holiday for her. And she felt more pain from the pain of her children. We fly out of our nest like birds: We want to become adults as soon as possible. Today I want to bow to the ground. To our Russian woman, named MOTHER.
Repeating the movements lips mothers, we say our first word in life: mother. 10 years will pass, 12, 50... Many events, people and meetings will be forgotten in our memory. But no matter what we experience, memories will always return us to the bright world of childhood, to the image of the mother who taught us to speak.
You know, mom, it's an ordinary day
We can't live without you!
The word mom is so familiar
Talk to us from the first days!
You just have to look closely
The whole world is warmed around
With the warmth of my mother's heart,
Gentle, kind hands...
Our troubles and tribulations
They retreat before you
It becomes clearer to us every year,
How you fight for us!
Mom, there is no dearer friend
Do you believe in our every takeoff!
Who else, like you, will help?!
Who else will understand like you?!
We love sister, and wife, and father, But in agony we remember our mother, - Nekrasov said.
In torment, in suffering, a person whispers “mother”, and in this word everything is concentrated for him, it becomes equivalent to the word “life”. A man calls his mother and believes that, wherever she is, she hears him, has compassion, and rushes to help.
Perhaps the most tragic was the fate of my mother during the war. Women and war... What could be more unnatural?
A woman who gives life and protects it, and a war that takes away this LIFE, the one and only... These concepts are incomparable.
During the Great Patriotic War in 1944, when the country already knew that Victory was coming soon, that the most terrible wound had to be healed - the loss of fallen soldiers and citizens killed by the Nazis, was The Order of the Mother Heroine was established. November 1st he was awarded to a resident of the Moscow region - Anna Aleksakhina.
The woman, the mother, became the embodiment of the brush of the great masters of art: Rembrandt, Venetsianov, Tropinin, Serov.
Rembrandt "Madonna and Child And St. Joseph"
Venetsianov
Mother! Undoubtedly, this is one of the most profound and harmonious creations of Russian poetry. From the pens of the great masters of lyric poetry came lines that were spiritual and heartfelt with love for the mother.
The easiest way to offend your mother is She won't answer with offense But he will only repeat: “Don’t catch a cold - it’s windy today!” The easiest thing to do is to offend your mother. Centuries will pass We'll get older But someone squeezed again He will take a piece of paper and write: “It’s easiest to offend your mother.” And maybe they will hear him.
E there is a holy and prophetic sign in nature, Vividly marked throughout the centuries. The most beautiful of women - A woman with a child in her arms! May the sun forever applaud her, So she will live for centuries, The most beautiful of women - A woman with a child in her arms!
No matter how mature, strong, smart, beautiful we become,
no matter how far life takes us from our parents’ shelter, mother always remains a mother for us, and we are her children.
Take care of your mothers!
(SLIDE 1) History of Mother's Day
(SLIDE 2) The celebration of Mother's Day goes back centuries. The holiday originates from the cult of the mother, which was almost universal: in ancient times people worshiped the goddess, who was the embodiment of the maternal principle. In every mythology she had her own name. The ancient Greeks paid tribute to the mother of all gods - Gaia. The Romans dedicated three days in March (from 22 to 25) to another mother of the gods - eastern Cybele. For the Celts, Mother's Day was a day to honor the goddess Bridget. Among the Slavs, the most ancient patroness of childbirth were women in labor Lada and her daughter Lelya - heavenly goddesses who embodied the cosmic principle of creation and eternal renewal of life.
(SLIDE 3) China
The celebration of "Mother's Day" in China arose thanks to Zheng, the mother of the Chinese philosopher Mencius (3-2 century BC), who raised her son alone. She did everything so that her son grew up in appropriate conditions and could receive a good education. For example, she moved the house herself three times.
(SLIDE 4) India
Indian Mother's Day is the most unusual in the whole world. It begins with a legend: “In an Indian village there lived a woman who had seven sons. One day she went into the forest to collect some land in order to renew the wall paintings in the house. This just happened during the month of Kartik. While working, an Indian woman's ax accidentally fell and hit a bear cub sleeping in a hole. The animal died, and the woman, upset, nevertheless took the land and returned back to the village. By a sad coincidence, the following year all her sons died. The unfortunate mother considered herself to blame for the death of her children, since she had killed the bear cub. Good people told the sufferer that she needed to pray to the goddess Ashtami Bhagawati. The woman regularly prayed and fasted, and ultimately the merciful goddess returned her boys to their mother.”
(SLIDE 5) UK
In the UK, Mother's Day has dual roots. Firstly, this is the harsh Victorian era, when children at a fairly early age worked away from home, and the money they earned was sent to the family budget. Then children were allowed to spend one day a year at home with their parents. Secondly, this is the beginning of the 17th century and Mothering Sunday, the fourth Sunday of Lent. Over time, the church holiday merged with the secular holiday.
(SLIDE 6) USA
American women's activist Julia Ward Howe is considered one of the founders of modern Mother's Day. In 1870, she published the Mother's Day Proclamation, calling on "all women who have hearts" to fight for peace. Every year in honor of Mother's Day in Boston, she organized mass rallies. However, Julia's idea did not find universal support, since she positioned "Mother's Day" only in the context of the struggle for world peace.
In May 1907, American teacher Ann Jarvis from Grafton, West Virginia, organized a ceremony in memory of her deceased mother, also named Ann Jarvis. In 1908, the holiday in honor of the mother was already celebrated by hundreds of women with their children. And in 1911, Mother's Day was celebrated in all states of America, as well as Mexico, Canada, South America and Africa. On December 12, 1912, the International Mother's Day Association was created to spread the celebration of this day.
In 1914, US President Woodrow Wilson legalized Mother's Day as a national holiday, which was set on the second Sunday in May.
(SLIDE 7) Australia
The tradition of celebrating Mother's Day appeared in Australia in 1924, thanks to a woman named Janet Haydn. She volunteered at the Sydney Women's Nursing Home and saw a lot of lonely elderly mums. To cheer them up, she enlisted the help of children from local schools, and financial support from local businesses to give some attention and small gifts to lonely old ladies. This movement became widespread and soon spread throughout the country.
(SLIDE 8) Arab countries - Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Bahrain
This holiday was officially established in 1956 in Egypt, and was subsequently adopted by other Arab countries. The holiday is dedicated to mothers; everyone considers it necessary to pay tribute to their work and selfless sacrifices for the benefit of their children.
(SLIDE 9) Israel
In Israel, the Mother's Day holiday largely owes its appearance to Henrietta Szold. Henrietta Szold had no biological children, but can be considered the mother of all the Jewish children saved by her and the Youth Aliyah organization of Nazi Germany. In total, she saved 22,000 people. Over time, the holiday expanded its meaning and began to be celebrated as Family Day.
(SLIDE 10) Kazakhstan
The idea to set a specific day to honor Kazakh mothers belongs to Nursultan Nazarbayev, and dates back to 2012. The history of Mother's Day in Kazakhstan is still very short, only three years, but over time, they will also have their own traditions and foundations in celebrating this wonderful day.
(SLIDE 11) Conclusion
We don’t need Mother’s Day on a specific day, we need it to be like this for our mothers every day. And it depends only on us. So that every day we reciprocate the love and endless tenderness of our mothers. They gave small and large gifts, helped, called for no reason, talked, drank tea together, listened and obeyed (at least sometimes, even if we were adults), and were just finally happy ourselves, because this is the most important thing for our mothers .
Being a mother is difficult work, but being a child is quite simple.

Mother's Day, an analogue of the current holiday, appeared in the 19th century in the American state of West Virginia. Mary Jarvis died on May 7, 1906 in Philadelphia. The death of this respectable and pious woman was mourned by brothers and sisters in the Methodist community, but for Mary Jarvis’s daughter, Ann, it became a real tragedy. Life without a loving and wise mother was unbearable for childless Anne Jarvis. She was tormented by the realization that during her lifetime she did not have time to express to her mother the full extent of her love and gratitude. On the anniversary of her mother's death, she ordered a memorial service. After this, she and many other women sent thousands of letters to their senators and congressmen proposing the establishment of such a holiday. Which is exactly what happened seven years later under President Woodrow Wilson, who declared the second Sunday in May a national holiday in honor of all American mothers.
