Dia De Las Madres
La celebración del Día de las Madres
tiene sus antecedentes en la Grecia antigua en honor de Rhea
, conocida como 'la madre de los dioses'. Durante el siglo XIX hubo
algunas propuestas para dedicar un día a homenajear a las madres, pero
no fue sino hasta
1907
cuando Ana Jarvis, nacida en Filadelfia, Estados Unidos, se reunió con
un grupo de amigos y les planteó el reto de trabajar para que se
estableciera una fecha para esta celebración.
A partir de ese momento comenzó una campaña para hacer que las autoridades accedieran a tal petición. Pronto
se unieron amigos, vecinos y conocidos,
quienes a través de folletos y textos en periódicos locales propagaron la idea en su comunidad.
En 1908 se celebró la primera ceremonia no oficial para conmemorar a las madres
en una iglesia metodista de Grafton, Virginia.El evento tuvo lugar el 10 de mayo del citado año y
acudieron 407 mamás acompañadas de sus familias.
En la ceremonia, Ana Jarvis regaló a cada madre presente un clavel, la
flor favorita de su propia madre, quien había fallecido pocos años
antes; desde entonces
el clavel es representativo de este día.

In the ceremony, Ana Jarvis gave to every present mother a carnation, the favorite flower of his own mother, who had died a few years before; since then the carnation is representative of this day.
