Mother's Day

In honor of all the mothers in the world. 

The celebration of mothers and motherhood can be traced back to ancient Rome when they would have festivals for the goddesses, Rhea and Cybele. The tradition was adopted by the Catholic Church. It became the fourth Sunday in Lent when the faithful would return to the "Mother Church" It wasn't until World War II that Mother's Day became an official holiday in the United States.
