Happy Mother's Day!!!

Sunday, May 11

Happy Mother's day to all Mamas, Mommies, out there! But do ever why does being mother or motherhood is celebrated? Well, I found some details of why and when.

People in many ancient cultures celebrated holidays honoring motherhood, personified as a goddess. Here are just a few of those:

* ancient Greeks celebrated a holiday in honor of Rhea, the mother of the gods
* ancient Romans celebrated a holiday in honor of Cybele, a mother goddess, March 22-25 - the celebrations were notorious enough that followers of Cybele were banished from Rome
* in the British Isles and Celtic Europe, the goddess Brigid, and later her successor St. Brigid, were honored with a spring Mother's Day, connected with the first milk of the ewes.

But no matter what is, it is always been enjoyable to treasure and be thankful to our mothers, every now and then, every day of our lives, life is too short just to ignore every moments of it. I appreciated every moment my mom was always there for me, her caring hands, he thoughtful hearts, always been reminded. I love you my mama and I truly thankful that your are my mama!

To all mothers out there! Happy Mother's Day!
