Happy Mother's Day

Mothers Day is a day that has been celebrated for thousands of years but where did it originate from?  The earliest records of the celebration of Mothers can be traced back to Ancient Greece, during the festival of
Rhea. This Ancient festival took place annually during the Vernal Equinox in the spring and eventually spread down to Italy and Rome to take place during the Ides of March; March 15th through March 18th.  Commercially the holiday is a huge success with gifts, cards, and candies but independently amongst families is the true celebration of Mothers Day. The idea of Mothers Day is to thank and contribute to our Mothers. It shows despite the difficulties of child labor and birth that we are grateful for our children and we children are grateful for our parents.
