HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MOMS IN THE WORLD!!!

Mother’s Day, celebrated on the second Sunday of May falls on 9th May this year.
This is wonderful way to pay tribute to all mothers for their love and support and to make them feel special.The day honours motherhood and is an expression of gratitude to them for the hardships they bear in bringing up a child.

   BOND B/W MOM AND CHILD

With the cutting of the umbilical cord at birth, the physical attachment to our mothers ceases but this is when psychological and emotional attachments begin. Being physically attached to our mothers within the womb is life sustaining but it is the emotional and psychological attachment that follows later, which provides a foundation for us to thrive in this world. A firm bond between mother and child is a prerequisite for normal development. Research has proven that this bonding is reflected in how well children do in school, how they build relationships and how well they cope with stressful or new situations. In other words, it is this bond that helps in shaping a child’s overall personality and is the most important part of a child’s life.

   HISTORY OF MOTHER'S DAY

1..The celebration came from ancient Greece of 'mother worship', a festival to Cybele a great mother of Greek gods. The festival was held around the Vernal Equinox around Asia Minor & eventually in Rome - from the Ides of March - March 15 to March 18.

2..Ancient Rome had another holiday, Matronalia, that was dedicated to Juno, though mothers were usually given gifts on this day.

3..Historians reported that children who served in houses during this time were given a day off on that date so they could visit their families. The children would pick flowers along the way to place them at the church or give them as a token gift to their mothers.

   MODERN CELEBRATION
