Mother's Day has its origins in the early twentieth century, when a young American woman, Anna Jarvis, lost her mother and went into complete depression. Concerned that suffering, some friends had the idea of perpetuating the memory of the mother of Annie with a party. Annie wanted to be extended to honor all mothers, living or dead. Soon, the celebration and therefore Mother's Day spread by the United States and in 1914, the date was made official by President Woodrow Wilson: May 9.
Historical Data: The oldest celebration of Mothers day is mythological. In ancient Greece, the entrance of spring was celebrated in honor of Rhea, the Mother of the gods.
The next record is in the early seventeenth century, when England began to dedicate the fourth Sunday of Lent to the English working mothers. That day, the workers took off to stay home with their mothers. It was called "Mothering Day", a fact which gave rise to "mothering cake", a cake for mothers who make the day even more festive.
In the U.S., the first hints for the establishment of a date for the celebration of the mothers were given in 1872 by writer Julia Ward Howe, author of The Battle Hymn of the Republic.
In Brazil, in 1932, then-president Getulio Vargas officiated at the date on the second Sunday of May. In 1947, Don Jaime de Barros Camara, Cardinal-Archbishop of Rio de Janeiro, has determined that this date also was part of the official calendar of the Catholic Church.

My dear mother
You gave me the most precious. "Life"
I waited with great affection.
I taught the first steps.
The first words.
The earliest memories I have in you,
It's his hand holding mine to give me protection.
Her gentle voice, singing lullabies, making me sleep and dream.
A dream serene, calm, knowing you would be there to protect me.
You fought it, smiled, cried.
But do not let bitterness take care of your heart.
You taught me to be a woman, but continue with my childhood dreams.
To be strong without being bitter.
Open my ways, always taking care of the plants around.
With you I learned to be "people"
Respect "us. "
I learned to have faith, I learned to accept people's flaws.
I learned that love must be unconditional.
My best memories are those that you create every day ...
I feel in love in everything you do.
In the glow of his eyes.
Mother, may God always protect you, enlighten you, forces you to continue your battle.
And I can always feel and have that love in all the major moments ofmy life.
