Mother’s Day brings to my mind the phrase: “the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world”. This is inevitably true as despite the spread of westernization and the changing roles of the “mother” throughout the world, the mother is still the most significant character in the family. So, why not dedicate one day solely to love and glorify this woman whom we love?

Mother’s day is celebrated on different days in different parts of the world. It is argued by historians that this day emerged from the concept of the ancient Greek worship of the mother. Similarly the ancient Romans also had another day, Matronalia, which was dedicated to the goddess Juno, and mothers were given gifts on this day. In the United States of America, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May., Mother’s Day was inspired by the British day in the United States and was made famous by social activist, Julia Ward Howe, after the American Civil war. She wanted to unite women against war; she understood and sympathized with the pain of losing a child. In 1912, Anna Jarvis created the Mother’s day International Association, after Julia Ward Howe failed in her noble cause, carrying on from where her mother left off, in 1905.

After the first official Mother’s Day, nine years passed. The celebration of significant days and dates became a form of business. This rampant commercialization infuriated Anna Jarvis. To her, Mother’s Day meant something else, it was indeed a very special day. She was so furious, she has even been heard saying that she shouldn’t have pioneered the celebration of such a dayit went out of control, according to her. She was even arrested in 1948 for apparently creating chaos and disorder, by protesting against the commercialization of Mother’s Day.

One of the most commercially successful days in the U.S is Mother’s day and it continues to be so. Also, India is following her footsteps, glorifying each of these “special” days and making money. However, despite all the protests against commercialization, this is the day when little children pour their hearts and souls into the cards or gifts they are making for their “mommies”..and this is the day when the mums feel pampered and loved.
