母亲节的来历英文版：

The history of Mother's Day

The earliest Mother's Day celebrations are traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honor of Rhea, the Mother of the Gods.

During the 1600's, England celebrated a day called “Mothering Sunday”， celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent . “Mothering Sunday” honored the mothers of England. During this time many of the England's 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 to provide a festive touch.

As Christianity spread throughout Europe the celebration changed to honor the “Mother Church” -- the spiritual power that gave them life and protected them from harm. Over time the church festival blended with the Mothering Sunday celebration . People began honoring their mothers as well as the church.

In the United States Mother's Day was first suggested in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe as a day dedicated to peace.

In 1907 Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother's Day. Ms. Jarvis persuaded her mother's church in Grafton, West Virginia to celebrate Mother's Day on the second anniversary of her mother's death, the 2nd Sunday of May. By the next year Mother's Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia.

Ms. Jarvis and her supporters began to write to ministers, businessman, and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mother's Day. It was successful, by 1911 Mother's Day was celebrated in almost every state. President Woodrow

Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother's Day a national holiday that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May.

While many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother's Day at different times throughout the year, there are some countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which also celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May.

Richer Than Gold

Strickland Gillilan (1869-1954)I had a mother who read me things .That wholesome life to the boy heart brings .Stories that stir with an upward touch,Oh, that each mother of boys were such!

You may have tangible wealth untold,Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.Richer than I you can never be .I had a mother who read to me.

工作事业是她的生活重心，圈儿广，应酬多。母亲节送给她的礼物不能太大众，要和她身份、地位相称，一切让她显得华贵、庄重、得体为最佳，如镶钻手表、品牌手包、皮草、披肩等，让她显得更加优雅高贵，在职场里更加游刃有余。事业型妈妈平时工作忙，应酬多，你也可以送她养生茶，身体好，工作才能更好。

第五类，年迈型母亲。

不经意间，妈妈老了，腰弯了，发白了，步履蹒跚了。面对年迈的妈妈，除了嘘寒问暖，更要关注她的健康。让妈妈能够长寿安康，滋补养生和保健品是送年迈型妈妈最好的礼物。如参类(花旗参、高丽参)、维他命、液体钙、大蒜精以及按摩机、安眠降压枕等都是不错的选择。

此外我们可以送母亲一束康乃馨或者带母亲出门游玩吧，康乃馨代表着一种温馨。它含有爱，魅力和尊敬之情。其中，浅红色的代表着钦佩之情，深红色的代表着深深的爱和关怀，而粉红色的康乃馨最具有历史意义和象征意义，成为不朽的母爱的象征。在现实中常和母爱联系在一起。所以，即使工作再繁忙，也别忘了给母亲捎上一束康乃馨，写上你对母亲爱的思语，当然，自己制作更别具意义了。

带母亲出门游玩放松心情最重要，更要真心陪伴。母亲节这一天，你不妨抛开其他一切琐事，与父亲一起陪母亲到比较安静的地方散散步，放松放松心情。和母亲谈一些贴心话语，忘掉烦恼，尽情与母亲共享春光明媚和温馨的亲情时光，当然，别忘了带上相机给母亲多留几张影 。

事实上，母亲并不在乎儿女送的礼物是不是好看的鲜花、好闻的香水、漂亮的衣服，母亲看重儿女的是孝顺、是生活中的如意、工作中的顺利。这些才是母亲节送母亲最好的礼物。
