母亲节文化

母亲节文化           
母亲节的起源
庆祝母亲节是从什麽时候开始的呢? 最早是古早古早的希腊人,为了荣耀希腊诸神之母 ~Rhea而开始的节庆。


全世界的母亲节   
虽然,许多国家是在一年中不同的时节庆祝属於他们的母亲节。然而,多数国家如丹麦、芬兰、义大利、土耳其、澳洲和比利时和台湾,都是在五月的第二个星期日庆祝母亲节的。


美国母亲节的发展   
在美国,最早关於母亲节的记载是1872年由茱丽雅(Julia Ward Howe即The Battle Hymn of the Republic的作者)所提出的,她建议将这一天献给「和平」,并在波斯顿等地举行母亲节的集会。   
1907年,费城的安娜 (Ana Jarvis)为了发起订立全国性的母亲节而活动。她说服了她母亲所属的、位於西维琴尼亚州的教会,在她母亲逝世二周年的忌日~即五月的第二个星期天,举办母亲节庆祝活动。隔年,费城人也开始在同一天庆祝母亲节。   
之後,安娜和支持者们开始写信给部长、企业家和政治家,要求订立全国性的母亲节,他们很成功的被接受了,因为1911年时,几乎所有的州都已开始庆祝母亲节了。威尔生总统 (President Woodrow Wilson)亦於1914年发表官方声言,让母亲节成为全国性的节日,就是每年五月的第二个礼拜天这一天。


英国母亲节的发展
十七世纪英格兰,为表达对英国母亲们的敬意,乃订四旬斋的第四个星期日为「Mothering Sunday」,人们在这一天回家探视双亲,并致礼表示敬意。(注:四旬斋是指复活节前夕之前,星期天除外的40天)。 当时,有许多的穷人必须在有钱人家里帮 讨生活,而被迫离家寄宿在主人家里,在MotheringSunday这一天,主人们会放他们假,并鼓励他们返家与妈妈团聚。为增加欢乐气氛,也发展了一种特别的蛋糕称为-mothering cake。
随着基督神在欧洲的扩散,这个节日转为对「Mother Church」的崇敬:表达人们对赋予他们生命、保护他们免於伤害的精神力量的感谢。从此,教会的仪式便与母亲节的庆祝活动相结合,以同时传达人们对母亲与教会的感念。


母亲节趣闻   
每年5月的第二个星期日,是某些国家的母亲节。这已经成为国际性的一个庆祝节日了。它是为歌颂世间伟大的母亲,纪念母亲的恩情,发扬孝敬母亲的道德而定立的。   
母亲节的创始人是美国人安娜・查尔维斯女士,她于1864年诞生在美国西弗吉尼亚洲。安娜长得很漂亮,体格健美,并且是一位聪明,能干,坚强,贤慧,热诚的女性。她更是一个孝顺的女儿,深深地爱着自己的母亲。   
为了纪念去世的母亲,完成母亲生前的愿望,她在母亲死后,立志创立母亲节,在社会上大声疾呼,并为此付出了全部精力和财力。   
据资料载称:“安娜・查尔维斯的母亲--安娜・里系・查尔维斯夫人,在美国南北战争结束以后,曾在当时的西弗吉亚州嘉鞭顿城美以美教会担任主日学校的总监。她在礼拜教堂讲述美国国殇纪念日时,述说过许多在战役中捐躯的英雄故事。   
安娜为这些故事感慨万端,并由此产生了一个强烈的愿望。她认为,应该设立一个纪念日,给丧失儿子的母亲们一种慰藉。同时,她积极建议创立一个母亲节,以资赞扬全世界的母亲。   
1905年,安娜・查尔维斯41岁时,她的母亲与世长辞,她十分悲痛。为了纪念母亲,提倡孝道,她立志要实现母亲的遗愿--创立母亲节。她首先向费城市长提出自已的设想,同时致函各州州长,国会议员,教会人士,工商界领袖,妇女团体,慈善机关以及社会名流,她大造舆论,疾声呼吁。结果,获得了各方面的良好反应和热烈支持。

Mother's Day History


The history of Mother's Day is centuries old and goes back to the times of ancient Greeks, who held festivities to honor Rhea, the mother of the gods. The early Christians celebrated the Mother's festival on the fourth Sunday of Lent to honor Mary, the mother of Christ. Interestingly, later on a religious order stretched the holiday to include all mothers, and named it as the Mothering Sunday. The English colonists settled in America discontinued the tradition of Mothering Sunday because of lack of time. In 1872 Julia Ward Howe organized a day for mothers dedicated to peace. It is a landmark in the history of Mother's Day.

In 1907, Anna M. Jarvis (1864-1948), a Philadelphia schoolteacher, began a movement to set up a national Mother's Day in honor of her mother, Ann Maria Reeves Jarvis. She solicited the help of hundreds of legislators and prominent businessmen to create a special day to honor mothers. The first Mother's Day observance was a church service honoring Anna's mother. Anna handed out her mother's favorite flowers, the white incarnations, on the occasion as they represent sweetness, purity, and patience. Anna's hard work finally paid off in the year 1914, when President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the second Sunday in May as a national holiday in honor of mothers.

Slowly and gradually the Mother's day became very popular and gift giving activity increased. All this commercialization of the Mother's day infuriated Anna as she believed that the day's sentiment was being sacrificed at the expense of greed and profit.

Regardless of Jarvis's worries, Mother's Day has flourished in the United States. Actually, the second Sunday of May has become the most popular day of the year. Although Anna may not be with us but the Mother's day lives on and has spread to various countries of the world. Many countries throughout the world celebrate Mother's Day at various times during the year, but some such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium also celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May.

I'd rather like to receive Mother's Day flowers instead of a sheet of study materials.
Any way, see it through first.
