During the 1600s, England celebrated a day called “mothering Sunday”. Celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent(四旬斋)，“mothering Sunday” honoured the mothers England.During the time many of the Englands poor worked as servants for the wealthy.AS most jobs were located far from their homes, the servants would live at the houses of their employers. On Mothering Sunday, the servants would have the day off and were encouraged to return home and spend the day with their mothers. A special cake, called the mothering cake, was often brought along.As Christianity(基督教) spread throughout Europe, the celebration changed to honour the “Mother Church”-the spiritual power that gave them life and protected them from harm. Over time the church festival bined with mothering Sunday celebration. People began honouring their mothers as well as the church.In the United States Mothers Day was first suggested in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe as a day devoted to peace. Then in 1907 Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign(运动) to establish a national Mothers Day. Ms Jarvis persuaded her mothers church in Grafton, Virginia to celebrate Mothers Day on the second anniversary of her mothers death, the 2nd day Sunday of May. By the next year Mothers Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia.Ms Jarvis and her supporters began to write to ministers, businessmen, and politicians demanding to establish a national Mothers Day. It was successful as by 1911 Mothers Day was celebrated in almost every state. President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement that Mothers Day was a national holiday and it was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May.While many countries of the world celebrate their own Mothers Day at different times throughout the year, there are some countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which also celebrate Mothers Day on the 2nd Sunday of May.32.
