How the Celebrating Mothers Day Tradition Started
Mothers day is celebrated world wide in different patterns but with same sentiments. In India we compare our mothers to god, actually I feel these relationships should be celebrated not just one day but everyday. Dedicating this one day to her is not enough but as a Mother I know I certainly would not mind a special dedicated day as well. DO you know formal celebration of a day to honour mother goddesses is first recorded in ancient Rome and Greece. The modern precedent for Mother’s Day is the early Christian festival known as “Mothering Sunday.” The mothering Sunday transformed slowly into mother’s day when the children presented their mother with gifts and flowers. From the 1900s onwards until the present, mother’s day is celebrated on second Sunday of may except for Thailand where they celebrate it on their queens birthday! Isn’t it great to see how the world walks along with you to honour mothers. Enough food for thought! lets move on to arranging this beautiful Sunday brunch. Don’t shy away from making this a ‘perfectly organised’ brunch. I am planning to make a super easy menu or may be take her out for a lunch date with my sister and treat myself too 😀 .
