Mother! Mum... Fountain and source of life. A warm hug for all the children, for whom they are anxious day and night. Lucky those who lived wrapped in her love, her caress, her advice, her principles and her values. The presence or absence of a mother determines every human being live.
From ancient Greece motherhood is glorified. In the spring, with worship rituals in honour of Gaia, who symbolised Mother Earth, mother of all gods and humans. Worship continued in the form of Rea, wife of Saturn, mother of Zeus and goddess of fertility.

With the spread of Christianity in Europe, Jesus' mother, the Virgin Mary, became the symbol of motherhood.
The second Sunday of May was established as Mother's Day in the United States. It is due to the efforts of Ana Jarvis, who, wanting to honour the memory of her mother, launched a campaign in 1907 to officially establish a celebration for all mothers. Her attempt was a success, and Mother's Day officially became a national day in the United States in 1914. The relevant presidential decree designated Mother's Day to be celebrated every second Sunday in May.
