The origin of mother's day

The second Sunday in May every year (Mother's Day in 2006 is 14 May) is Mother's Day in some countries. This has become an international celebration festival. It was established to praise the great mother in the world, commemorate her kindness and promote filial piety.

Mother's Day was founded by an American, Anna Charles, who was born in West Virginia on 1864. Anna is beautiful and strong, and she is a smart, capable, strong, wise and enthusiastic woman. She is a filial daughter and deeply loves her mother.

According to the data, "Anna Charles' mother, Mrs. Li Anna Charles, served as the director of Sunday school at the American-Israeli church in Capeton, West Virginia after the American Civil War. When she told Memorial Day in the church, she told many heroic stories that died in the battle.

Anna was deeply moved by these stories, and she had a strong desire. She thinks a memorial day should be set up to comfort the mothers who lost their sons. At the same time, she actively suggested the creation of Mother's Day to praise mothers all over the world.

1905, when Anna Chavez was 4 1 years old, her mother died, and she was very sad. In order to commemorate her mother and advocate filial piety, she is determined to realize her mother's last wish-to create Mother's Day. She first put forward her ideas to the mayor of Philadelphia, and at the same time wrote letters to state governors, congressmen, church people, business leaders, women's groups, charities and celebrities. She made a scene, clamoring for it. Therefore, we have received good response and enthusiastic support from all sides.

Wandering in Meng Jiao

The mother used the needle and thread in her hand to make clothes for her long-distance son.

Before leaving, I had a stitch for fear that my son would come back late and his clothes would be damaged.

Who can say that a filial child like the weak can repay his mother's love like the sunshine in spring?

Dry old clothes.

The robe is still there and the collar is still warm.

I can't bear to take it lightly when sewing again, and there are old thread marks of loving mothers on it.

Mother, parents

The earth has been spinning.

Ode to mother

Although mother is still poor.

The child's love for his mother is unambiguous.

We just shouted "Long live mother"

Deeper love erupts in my heart like a volcano.

Although my mother is ordinary and has a great reaction,

She is the real hero in children's hearts.

Who can live in the achievements of princes and princes?

Children can keep their mother's kindness in mind.

Although mother speaks softly,

She is heavier than Mount Tai in children's hearts.

She has made no earth-shattering achievements.

But my mother and I watered the children's success together.

humdrum life

Your little feet

How many roads have you walked?

On your weak shoulders

Still bear a heavy burden

This road is very long.

It is full of your blood, your sweat and your tears.

And endless humiliation.

Your cheeks are brown.

Write about your long-term running and hard work.

however

You never seem to know what to complain about.

You are always tenacious, keep going.

There is always a long way under your feet.

Never asked you why you left.

You never wanted to tell anyone.

You are always so silent.

Go quietly, go ...

Your little feet,

Walk out of the long road

There is no end in sight.

Immortal ode

The gentle wind is blowing the sun, and my mother's kindness is not fully praised.

Adopted daughters care for their children's nature and keep the tears of pregnancy and childbirth.

I am afraid that my heart will become a phoenix, and I will become the soul in my dream.

The most important thing is Meng Jiao's theory of beautiful spring scenery and flourishing grass.

Mom is really great.

My mother, like the moon, shines on the doors and windows of my house, how holy and kind, shining with the light of love.

For the sake of children, I am not afraid of dark clouds, give me warmth and encourage me to go up.

Mom, I love you. I love you. You're amazing.

Mother is like a star, shining on the doors and windows of my house. How holy and kind she is, shining with the light of love.

A grateful heart

I came from an accident, like a grain of dust. Who can see my fragility?

Where I come from, where I belong, and who will call me in the next moment.

Although the world is wide, this road is difficult. I have seen all the ups and downs in this world.

How much love and tears I still have, God knows I won't give up.

Grateful heart, thank you, accompany me all my life, let me have the courage to be myself.

Grateful heart, thank you, I will cherish it like flowers bloom and fall.

Mom, I love you.

Mom! Mom! I love you, you taught us to endure hardships, and you taught us to live up to expectations.

Childhood scenes are often in dreams, mother's love will never be forgotten, and mother's goodness will never be forgotten.

Even the stormy waves, even the wind, frost, rain and snow.

With your mother, everyone is willing to struggle and achieve great things.
