Mom, Mommy, Mommy ... The very, very first conscious, and also the most, most important word in the life of each of us. And no matter how and in what language it sounds. The main thing is that exceptional meaning and the love that we put in these few sounds.
How much warmth and happiness this magic word has in itself, because we call it the closest, dearest, dearest, exceptional and only person! For all people, mom is a symbol of happiness, warmth, care, tenderness, beauty, love, care. Indeed, in the world there is and cannot be any dearer than mother. Regardless of age, we need her voice, affection and care.
The kindest and most beautiful in the world, mom will always find the right advice, the right words for comfort. There are times when even realizing that mom will not approve of your purchase, you still consciously reach for her. After all, she alone understands you better than anyone in the world. However, not everyone understands how much she herself needs the return of all that she has given us for so many years - from sleepless nights when we were just born, to her last breath. Congratulations on mother's day - this is what can please our mothers!
Mother's Day in Russia is celebrated relatively recently - about 15 years, although in other countries - in the United States of America, Canada, Japan, etc. - This holiday has been celebrated for almost a hundred years. And in Great Britain already since the 17th century, people celebrated "Maternal Resurrection." However, as it is not sad, in Russia and in the countries of the former Soviet Union this holiday is not celebrated properly. Indeed, you see, congratulations on Mother's Day you hear less often than congratulations on Valentine's Day or on March 8. And events for Mother's Day are not held at all.
On this day, in many countries of the world, there is a custom to attach cloves to outerwear. Moreover, the color of the clove is of great importance. So, white flowers indicate that the mother is no longer alive, while multi-colored carnations indicate that the mother of the person lives to this day. And why is white color a sign of mourning? Because in many cultures, white is identified with death. So, even among the ancient Slavs. Surely this was due to the cult of dying and the resurrection of nature, that is, with winter, with snow, the color of which is white.
Another interesting fact is that in Russia Mother 's Day is celebrated on the last Sunday of November, while almost all over the world - on the second Sunday of May. This holiday is different from March 8, which is considered the day of beauty and motherhood, because on Mother's Day it is customary to congratulate only mothers and pregnant women, the descendant that they will soon join the ranks of happy parents, will become mothers and will take care of their children.
The beauty of mothers, like the theme of motherhood in general, has always found itself in art. Almost all artists and poets addressed this topic directly or indirectly. However, imagine how much it will be nice for mom to receive Mother's Day congratulations from her children. Especially if the gift is made by hand, and not bought in any store. For example, it can be a cake with a declaration of love to mom, a handmade card, or just a sweater or scarf connected with love. This will be another reminder for mom that you appreciate her love and care. After all, every mom, regardless of age, is to some extent a heroine, at least by the fact that she has increased the number of the world's population.
Do not disappoint your mothers, give them the same joy and love that they once gave you. After all, the meaning of her life lies in you. And do not forget about Mother's Day, because this is another chance to express my gratitude for the life you have been given. Appreciate every moment spent next to your mother, as once your mother appreciated your every little achievement - from the first smile to the first steps.
