Mother's Day is a holiday celebrated to thank mothers, held on the second Sunday of May each year. On this day, mothers usually receive gifts and intentions from their children, such as a bright bouquet of carnations or a delicate bouquet of lilies, among others.
Mother's Day originated in ancient Greece, where on January 8th each year, ancient Greeks paid tribute to Rhea, the mother of the gods. In the middle of the 17th century, Mother's Day spread to England, and the fourth Sunday of Lent was regarded as Mother's Day by the British.
The origin of modern Mother's Day can be traced back to the United States. It is said that in 1876, during the Civil War, Anna Mary Jarvis commemorated and praised mothers around the world in a church. In 1907, Mrs. Jarvis' daughter Anna invited her mothers to hold a worship service. In 1910, Mother's Day was established in Philadelphia. In 1914, the United States Congress officially named the second Sunday of May as Mother's Day, and carnations quickly became a symbol of Mother's Day. It is said that carnations represent the tears shed by the Virgin Mary when Jesus was crucified.
In the 1980s, Mother's Day gradually gained acceptance among the people in mainland China. At the end of the 20th century, with the increasing integration of China and the world, Mother's Day has been increasingly popularized in Chinese Mainland and accepted the concept of Mother's Day. On the second Sunday of May every year, Chinese people and people from other countries all over the world express their gratitude to their mothers in various ways. In December 2006, organizations such as the Cultural Committee of the Chinese Association for Democracy and People's Livelihood designated the second day of the fourth lunar month, which is the day when Mencius was born, as Chinese Mother's Day.

Promoting the culture of virtue and filial piety on Mother's Day can not only make families more harmonious, but also make society more harmonious and civilized. Selfless maternal love dedicates everything to her children, and children should promote and inherit the culture of filial piety to maintain family harmony, promote social stability and development, making Mother's Day more meaningful.
