Mother's Day is a holiday celebrated to thank mothers, which falls on the second Sunday of May every year.
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 mid-17th century, Mother's Day spread to England, and the British designated the fourth Sunday of fasting as Mother's Day. The origin of modern Mother's Day is in the United States. In 1906, Anna Jarvis' mother passed away. On the anniversary of her mother's death the following year, she organized activities to commemorate her mother. In 1907, 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, representing the tears shed by the Virgin Mary when Jesus was crucified.

In the 1920s, Mother's Day was introduced to China. On Mother's Day in 1932, commemorative events were held in the churches of various churches in Shanghai and the Shanghai Youth Association. Subsequently, Guangdong, Jiangsu and other places also began to celebrate Mother's Day. 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 people have gradually accepted the concept of Mother's Day. In December 2006, organizations such as the Cultural Committee of the Chinese People's Association designated the second day of the fourth lunar month as Chinese Mother's Day.

On Mother's Day, mothers usually receive gifts from their children, such as a bright bouquet of carnations or a delicate bouquet of lilies, as well as other gifts and intentions. 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.
