Sunday the 14th of May 2023 is a very special day. It’s that time of year where we celebrate our amazing Mums! Our mums do so much for us that it’s important to make her feel extremely special.
The history of Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day was first celebrated in 1908, when West Virginia woman Anna Marie Jarvis held a church memorial to honour the legacy of her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis. Ann Jarvis had been a peace activist who nursed wounded soldiers during the Civil War and created Mother’s Day work clubs to address public health issues. Anna Jarvis wanted to continue her mother’s work and pushed to have a day set aside to honour all mothers. (source: ABC News)
Nowadays Mother’s Day is celebrated across the globe in over 168 countries, with each country having its own unique traditions. In Australia some mums may be given cards, flowers and gifts, while others may enjoy breakfast in bed or a lunch out.
While Mother’s Day initially began to promote peace and support women, over the years it has become an occasion for family reunions in Australia. Here are some ideas on how to celebrate Mother’s day at the Granite Belt Christmas Farm.
