ABOUT THE MOTHER'S
Mother's Day is an anniversary calendar spread throughout the world. In Italy fell regularly on 8 May, until it was decided to fix the second Sunday in May, taking on the U.S..
It is a very ancient festival, linked to the worship of fertility deities of the ancient polytheistic peoples, which was celebrated in the very year in which the passage of nature from the winter cold and static to full summer of smells and colors (and prosperity in the ancient civilization peasant) was more evident. With the passing of time this holiday by the religious tone has evolved into a commercial holiday, sometimes even in the festival.
In the United States in May 1870, Julia Ward Howe, peace activist and abolitionist (slavery), proposed that the establishment of Mother's Day (Mother's Day), as a moment of reflection against the war. It was formalized in 1914 by President Woodrow Wilson with the decision of Congress to celebrate the second Sunday in May as a public expression of love and gratitude for mothers and hope for peace. The party has spread to many countries around the world, but change the dates are celebrated.
In Italy was celebrated for the first time in 1957 by Don Othello Migliosi Assisi, in the small village of Tordibetto of which he was pastor. Migliosi celebrated the second Sunday of May.
