“Dedicated to the dearest!”

From pure heart, In simple words Today, friends, we will talk about mom.

History of Mother's Day Mother's Day is one of those holidays that people are afraid to accidentally miss in the hustle and bustle of everyday worries. This holiday is dedicated to the most beloved and most main woman who gave me the opportunity to live and enjoy life. The very first mention of the holiday can be found in the history of the ancient world.

There is no friend like dear mother The veneration of mothers existed many centuries ago in ancient Greece. The inhabitants of this fairyland worshiped on one of the spring days of Gaia - the mother of all gods. The ancient Celts honored the goddess Bridget on a holiday, and the Romans had a three-day March holiday, on which they sang the parent of their patrons, Cybele.

Mother's Day in Russia By Decree of the President of the Russian Federation Boris N. Yeltsin dated January 30, 1998, N 120, an annual Russian holiday, Mother's Day, was established. The holiday is celebrated on the last Sunday of November.

Russian mothers have always been distinguished by: generosity of soul, devotion, self-sacrifice, love and great patience. And today they carefully keep the family hearth, teach children kindness, mutual understanding, morality.

Dedicated to Mom ... Our most main man You gave us life, In return for this wonderful gift, you did not ask for payment. On Mother's Day, we hasten to congratulate you with all our heart, Be happy, and always be our dearest

Dedicated to all, all mothers in the world! Being a mom means being resilient. Don't get tired when you work. Through “I can’t” get up and clean, cook, wash, wash, iron and put in order; dress, comb, amuse, edify, console, lull, without even thinking about rest. Being a mom means being strong. Being a mom means being creative. Think of how to build a new one from two old blouses, design carnival costumes, compose pies, soups and compotes. Being a mother means having a remarkable imagination.

Being a mom means being strong. Being a mother means knowing the answers to all questions. This means, knowing for sure where the stars live and how many quills a porcupine has, still get an encyclopedia and read, read, read at night ... Being a mother means always learning. Being a mom means being an optimist. This means, seeing how the daughter spills tea on the tablecloth for the hundredth time and slams the door, to believe that this girl will someday turn into an elegant girl. Being a mom means not losing hope.

Being a mom means always learning. Being a mother means again and again opening your heart to someone who hurts a lot. This means - no matter what, hugging and singing lullabies at night. Being a mother means being able to endure and forgive. Being a mother means understanding and accepting. It means feeling someone else's pain as one's own, sharing great grief over a broken flower or a flying beetle; to be able to rejoice at small joys known only to children, and together with them to laugh at what is really funny, and not usually considered as such. It means to see the world through the eyes of your child, to go along with him along the path of life, gently helping to overcome difficulties, and to be always ready to help. Being a mother means loving.

(SLIDE 1) The history of Mother's Day
(SLIDE 2) The celebration of Mother's Day has its roots in the mists of time. The holiday originates from the cult of the mother, which was almost universal in nature: in ancient times, people worshiped the goddess, who was the embodiment of the maternal principle. In every mythology, she had her own name. The ancient Greeks paid tribute to the mother of all gods - Gaia. The Romans devoted three days in March (from 22 to 25) to another mother of the gods - eastern Cybele. For the Celts, Mother's Day was the day of honoring the goddess Bridget. Among the Slavs, the most ancient patronesses of childbirth were women in labor Lada and her daughter Lelya ─ heavenly goddesses who embodied the cosmic principle of creation and the eternal renewal of life.
(SLIDE 3) China
The celebration of "Mother's Day" in China arose thanks to Zheng, the mother of the Chinese philosopher Mencius (3rd-2nd century BC), who raised her son alone. She did everything to ensure that her son grew up in appropriate conditions and could receive a good education. For example, she herself moved the house three times.
(SLIDE 4) India
Indian "Mother's Day" is the most unusual in the whole world. It begins with a legend: “In an Indian village there lived a woman who had seven sons. Once she went to the forest to collect land in order to update the wall painting in the house. This just happened during the month of Kartik. While working at the Indian woman, an ax accidentally fell and hit a bear cub that was sleeping in a hole. The animal died, and the woman, upset, nevertheless took the land and returned back to the village. By a sad coincidence, all her sons died the following year. The unfortunate mother considered herself guilty of the death of her children, because she committed the murder of a bear cub. Kind people prompted the sufferer to pray to the goddess Ashtami Bhagawati. The woman regularly prayed and fasted, and in the end, the merciful goddess returned her boys to the mother.
(SLIDE 5) UK
In the UK, "Mother's Day" has dual roots. First, it's harsh victorian era when the kids are pretty early age worked away from home, and the money they earned was sent to the family budget. Then one day a year, children were allowed to spend at home with their parents. Secondly, it is the beginning of the 17th century and Mother's Sunday, the fourth Sunday of Lent. Over time, the church holiday merged with the secular holiday.
(SLIDE 6) USA
One of the founders of the modern "Mother's Day" is the American activist of the women's movement Julia Ward Howe. In 1870, she published the Mother's Day Proclamation, calling on "all women who have hearts" to fight for peace. Every year in honor of "Mother's Day" in Boston, she organized mass rallies. However, Julia's idea did not find universal support, since she positioned "Mother's Day" only in the spirit of fighting for world peace.
In May 1907, Anne Jarvis, an American teacher from Grafton, West Virginia, organized a grand ceremony in memory of her deceased mother, also named Anne Jarvis. In 1908, hundreds of women with their children celebrated the holiday in honor of the mother. And in 1911, Mother's Day was celebrated in all states of America, as well as Mexico, Canada, South America and Africa. On December 12, 1912, the International Mother's Day Association was formed to spread the celebration of this day.
In 1914, US President Woodrow Wilson legalized National holiday"Mother's Day", which was set for the second Sunday in May.
(SLIDE 7) Australia
The tradition of celebrating "Mother's Day" began in Australia in 1924, thanks to a woman named Janet Haydn. She volunteered at the Sydney Women's Nursing Home and saw a lot of single older moms. To cheer them up, she enlisted the support of children from local schools, and the financial support of local entrepreneurs to give a little attention and small gifts to lonely old ladies. This movement gained mass character and soon covered the whole country.
(SLIDE 8) Arab countries - Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Bahrain
This holiday was officially established in 1956 in Egypt, and was subsequently adopted by other Arab countries. The holiday is dedicated to mothers, everyone considers it necessary to pay tribute to their work and selfless sacrifices for the benefit of their children.
(SLIDE 9) Israel
In Israel, Mother's Day owes much of its origin to Henrietta Szold. Henrietta Szold had no biological children, but can be considered the mother of all the Jewish children she rescued and the Youth Aliya organization from Nazi Germany. In total, 22,000 people were saved by her. Over time, the holiday expanded its meaning and began to be celebrated as Family Day.
(SLIDE 10) Kazakhstan
The idea to appoint a specific day to honor Kazakh mothers belongs to Nursultan Nazarbayev, and has been counting down since 2012. The history of Mother's Day in Kazakhstan is still quite short, only three years old, but over time, their own traditions and foundations will appear in the celebration of this wonderful day.
(SLIDE 11) Conclusion
We don’t need Mother’s Day on any particular day, we need it to be like this for our mothers every day. And it depends only on us. So that every day we reciprocate for the love and endless tenderness of our mothers. They made small and big gifts, helped, called for no reason, talked, drank tea together, listened and obeyed (at least sometimes, even if we were adults), and were just, finally, happy themselves, because this is the most important thing for our mothers .
Being a mother is hard work, but being a child is very easy.

history of the holiday

Mom is the first word

The main word in every destiny.

Mom gave life

The world gave me and you ...

composer Bourgeois Gerard

Mother's Day is one of the most touching holidays, because we all from childhood to our last days we carry in our soul the only and unique image- the image of her mother, who will understand everything, forgive, always regret and will selflessly love no matter what.

Mom is a faithful guardian angel who vigilantly takes care of our happiness and well-being.

For the first time, the Mother's Day holiday (under this name) was held on October 30, 1988 at school No. 228 in Baku, its author is Elmira Javadovna Huseynova, a teacher of Russian language and literature.

On Mother's Day, an appeal was made to all schoolchildren with a call to make the holiday an annual event. The text of this appeal was published by many newspapers and magazines. Starting from 1988, Elmira Huseynova annually celebrated Mother's Day in Baku, and then in Stavropol.

The good tradition was picked up by many schools of the country, and gradually the holiday became popular.

Mother's Day is a traditional holiday for many countries of the world. This is a day of remembrance for mothers, when their work and selfless sacrifice for the benefit of their children is paid tribute. On this day, it is customary to congratulate not only mothers, grandmothers, but also pregnant women.

Honoring a woman-mother has a long history dating back to ancient Greece. The ancient Greeks paid tribute to the mother of all gods - Gaia.

It is known that in England of the 15th century, the so-called "Mother's Sunday", the fourth Sunday of Great Lent, was celebrated, dedicated to honoring mothers throughout the country.

The first recognized Mother's Day as an official state holiday in Virginia in 1910.

In Europe, this day sounded after World War I.

The first word every baby says is "mom". In all languages ​​of the world, it sounds affectionate, warm and gentle. Mom is our first teacher, a wise mentor. From the mother's lips, the child hears the first words and songs in his life. Mother teaches us to be wise, gives advice, takes care of us, protects us.

Maternal love warms us to old age. Years later, as adults, we remember our mother's voice and smile, mother's eyes and hands.

Great feeling! at every door

Whichever way we go

We hear the children call their mothers

Distant, but rushing to the children.

Great feeling! it to the end

We keep alive in our souls

We love sister, and wife, and father,

But in agony we remember our mother!

N. A. Nekrasov. 1877

And although this holiday is celebrated recently, but at all times, mother has been and remains the most important and close person for each of us.

In torment, in suffering, a person whispers “mother”, and in this word everything is concentrated for him, it becomes equivalent to the word “life”. A man calls his mother and believes that, wherever she is, she hears him, sympathizes, hurries to help.

The most tragic was the fate of the mother during the war years. Women and war... What could be more unnatural?.. During the Great Patriotic War in 1944, when the country already knew that Victory was coming soon, that the most terrible wound had to be healed - the loss of fallen soldiers and citizens killed by the Nazis, the Order of the Mother Heroine was established (assigned to mothers who gave birth and raised ten or more children) and "Maternal Glory" (awarded mothers who gave birth and raised seven, eight and nine children), as well as the medal "Medal of Motherhood" (awarded mothers who gave birth and raised five and six children).

Order "Mother Heroine"

Medal "Medal of Motherhood"

Order of Maternal Glory

It is impossible to argue with the fact that Mother's Day is a holiday of eternity. From generation to generation, for every person, mother is the most important person in life.

Mother! Undoubtedly, this is one of the most profound and harmonious creations of Russian poetry. From the pen of the great master of the lyric poem Sergei Yesenin came the lines, inspired and imbued with love for the mother:

Are you still alive, my old lady?

I'm alive too. Hi hello to you!

Let it flow over your hut

That evening unspeakable light.

They write to me that you, concealing anxiety,

She was very sad about me,

What do you often go to the road

In an old-fashioned dilapidated shushun ...

Woman, mother became the embodiment of the brush of the great masters of art:

A.G. Venetsianova, V.A. Tropinina, V.A. Serov, Rembrandt, Picasso and many others.

"Portrait of the artist's mother". Picasso. 1896

Portrait of N.Ya.Derviz with a child.

Serov V.A. 1888-1889

The theme of motherhood can also be traced in folk art: proverbs, sayings, riddles.

• Warm in the sun, good in mother
• There are many relatives, and the mother is the dearest of all
• There is no friend like a mother
• The mother feeds the children like the land of the people
• To live with your mother - neither grief nor boredom to know
• For a mother, children are always small
• Mother in children blooms as if in bloom
• Maternal care does not burn in fire and does not sink in water
• Mother's anger is like spring snow: and a lot of it falls, but it will soon melt
• Who loves you children more

Who loves you so tenderly

And takes care of you

Without closing your eyes at night?

New holiday- Mother's Day - is gradually entering Russian homes. And this is wonderful: no matter how many good ones, kind words we did not tell our mothers, no matter how many reasons for this they come up with, they will not be superfluous.

More than 60 subjects Russian Federation diplomas, medals, badges of honour, titles and awards for the worthy upbringing of children and a special contribution to the implementation of regional family policy have been established for mothers, the presentation of which is also timed to coincide with this wonderful holiday.

Let her punish severely -

Mothers never lie.

After all, they need a little from you -

Just take good care of them!

Take care of your mothers

Like flowers from a cold blizzard

And with his filial care

Heal all their ailments.

Do not leave them without participation!

Always take care of them, children!

There is no complete happiness

If the mother is not in the world!

Take care of your mothers

Like flowers from a cold blizzard, -

Their love is a hundred times hot

Than friends and beloved girlfriend.

Mother's love cannot be embraced:

In the summer heat, and in the blizzard, and in the cold

She is ready to give you everything

Everything to the gram and even the soul!

Take care of your mothers -

No one can replace their affection for you.

Among the cloudy days of life

Who will understand you and who will appreciate?

Who will take all the pain All the torment of the soul and torment? Mother will not give salt instead of bread, Mother will always reach out to you .

Andrey Lukashin
