崇敬。,后来,在中古世纪的英国,四旬斋为纪念耶稣在荒郊的禁食,而举行的绝食斋戒或忏悔的宗教活动,时间大致在每年的二月底至四月初的第四个星期日,就是所谓的母亲日。那一天,长大的孩子,必须带著礼物回家,送给自己的妈妈。,为提倡和平,女作家建议订定母亲节,在美国,以写共和国战歌而闻名的女作家朱莉亚?瓦德?霍耶,曾建议在六月中选定某一天为母亲节。由於美国内战的爆发,许多母亲尝到战争的恐怖,及失去爱子的痛苦,朱莉亚极力鼓吹订定一个节日以提倡和平。她的建议只有少数几个地方采行而已。,不久,一名叫贾薇丝太太的美国人,在西维吉尼亚州的格拉夫顿家乡,筹组一个委员会,赞助母亲友谊日的活动。这个节日的目的是为了把东部各州,那些曾在内战当中,为南北双方作战的家庭结合起来。贾薇丝太太的计划虽然获得当地的支持,但是母亲节的构想,却一直到她过世以后才真正实现。,母亲节起源,贾薇丝太太於一九五年的五月九日 死於费城;她是一名寡妇,跟著儿子克劳德及两个女儿艾尔辛诺和安娜住在一起;克劳德是个成功的商人,艾尔辛诺则几乎双眼失明。,安娜一直都很敬爱自己的母亲,因此在妈妈死后,她就想找个方法,以表达对母亲永恒的敬意,同时延续母亲制定母亲节的构想。,一九七年,她写信给格拉夫顿教堂的牧师,请他为已逝世两周年的妈妈做个特别的追思礼拜。当天,安娜捐赠了五百朵妈妈生前最喜欢的花白色的康乃馨,送给所有参加仪式的小孩和母亲。,第二年,教堂便正式宣布,贾薇丝太太逝世的三周年忌日为母亲节。但是当天她却没有出席,因为她正在费城忙著组织一个母亲节委员会。,发起写信运动 制定母亲节为国定假日,母亲节起源,在该委员会的协助下,安娜开始发动大规模的写信运动。她写信给数以 百计的教堂、商业领袖、报纸编辑、政治家等,要求他们加入制定母亲节为 国定假日的活动。,一九一年,西维吉尼亚州州长回应了她的请求,并发表第一个母亲节的宣言,要求所有的西维吉尼亚人,在五月的第二个星期日,佩带白色的康乃馨上教堂。而奥克拉荷马州及华盛顿州,也在那一年开始庆祝母亲节。到一九一一年,母亲节的礼拜活动便在全美各州举行。,国会通过决议 订五月第二个星期日为母亲节,欣喜万分的安娜,决定组织母亲节国际协会,於是从一九一二年开始,她把全部的时间和精力,全部奉献在提倡母亲节的活动上。她的努力,终於在一九一四年的五月八日开花结果,因为国会通过一项联合决议,要求美国人在那一年五月的第二个星期日悬挂国旗,以表达对全美国母亲无比的尊敬和爱意。第二天早上,安娜成为美国白宫的客人,亲眼看著威尔逊总统签署这项决议,总统同时还把那只签署的笔送给安娜。,到了一九二年代,安娜已经把母亲节这个观念,深植在其他的四十三个国,家。,Thanks
