Celebrations of mothers and motherhood can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who held festivals in honor of the mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele.
The clearest modern precedent for Mother’s Day is the early Christian festival known as “Mothering Sunday.”
Once observed as a day on which people would visit their "mother" church, it has become an occasion for honoring the mothers of children with feasting and gift giving.

To all past, current and future Mother Goddesses - any and all who embody, represent and personify nature, motherhood, fertility, creation, destruction and the bounty of our Mother Earth.
Happy Mother's Day to you!
