On behalf of all of us at Mohave Community College we want to wish all of our
students who are mothers – in any way – a wonderful Mother’s Day…
Here
in the US by 1911, Mother's Day was celebrated in almost every state in the
Union and on May 8, 1914 President Woodrow Wilson signed a Joint Resolution
designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day.
Mother's Day is now officially celebrated in well
over 140 countries around the world on different days throughout the year. Here in the US
and in many other countries, Mother's Day is always celebrated on the second
Sunday in May – some of those countries include: Anguilla, Aruba, Australia,
Austria, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belgium, Belize, Bermuda, Bonaire,
Brazil, Brunei, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Croatia, Cuba,
Curaçao, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Estonia, Finland, Germany,
Ghana, Greece, Grenada, Honduras, Hong Kong, Iceland, India, Italy, Jamaica,
Japan, Latvia, Malta, Malaysia, Myanmar, The Netherlands, New Zealand,
Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa,
St. Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, Switzerland, Taiwan,
Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, Ukraine, Uruguay, Venezuela, and Zimbabwe
The
day has become hugely popular and in several countries phone lines witness
maximum traffic and over the years other traditions, such as giving flowers,
cards and others gift have also occurred.
But for most “moms” there is nothing more special than just being able
to spend time with those we love…
But no matter when Mother’s Day is celebrated the tradition is always the same intending to honor and pay tribute to mothers, grandmothers, aunts and everyone who is a “mother figure” in our lives - Yes today is a chance to remember moms no longer with us, and to say thank you to those of who are, for all their love and support.
So no matter how you spend your Mother's Day, we hope you enjoy your day….
