THE CLOTHMAKER Remember Mother Mother's Day May 1 Oth We cannot claim for Mothers Day an unbroken line of descent from the old English Holiday called Mothering Sunday. It is interesting to note, however, that even be fore the advent of Christianity, we find in the pages of history an ancient foundation for Mother love. Mother worship reaches back into pagan times with the ceremony of Rhea in Asia Minor as the great "Mother of the Gods." This particular rite was introduced through Greece into Rome, about two hundred and fifty years before Christ and was called the festival of Hilaria, serving the purpose of elevating Motherhonrl inf n if c rirtUifnl ...vw uig.mj. Mothering Day With the advent of Christianity this festival gave rise through various church changes to the English observance of Mothering Sunday. This day was set aside for young men and women bound out as apprentices or servants, to visit parents and especially the Mother. One can imagine how, after having been away in service, the youths and maidens would brighten the bonds of filial love by the annual visit home, bearing as custom decreed, some pleasant gift. Certain foods became associated with this English Holiday. Pancakes, by the name of Carlings. composed of steeped peas fried in butter, pepper and salt, were served in Northern England and Scotland. A rich fruit cake with an outer crust called Simnel Cake was also a delicacy much esteemed on Mothering Sun day. National Observance It is a far cry from these quaint English observances to our own American-Mother's Day. first conceived and brought into being bv Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia in 1908. and made the second Sunday of May a National observance day by a bill of Congress passed and signed by President Wood row Wilson. May 8th. 1914. The strengthening of home ties by a day so rich in love and tender in its meaning by our nation, which prides itself on practicality, reveals undc rneath a crust of commercialism. the idealism much needed in so great a nation. Now, the observance of "Mother's Day" has been expanded. to include many new o u t \v a rd demonstrations of latent love and gratitude to Mothers. The w e a r i n g of flower boutonniers. the sending of Mother's Day cards and gifts, church attendance as a family, has become a fitting symbol of gratefulness to the Mothers of the world. A Happy Day Mother's Dav is a happy day for everyone because doing special things for our mother, or the mother of someone else, with love and understanding in your heart, will not only CAMP I (flW a r-*t ?
