Today Mother's Day is celebrated around the world with many different customs. In Australia, the US, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey and Belgium, Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May.
In Spain, Mother's Day is December 8, on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. In France, Mother's Day is on the last Sunday of May. A special cake resembling a bouquet of flowers is presented to mothers at a family dinner.
The history of Mother's Day dates back to the 19th Century. It wasn't until 1914 that the U.S. Congress passed a Joint Resolution, and President Woodrow Wilson signed it, establishing Mother's Day, emphasizing women's role in the family.
Eric Fromm, a famous social philosopher and 20th century psychoanalyst, and author of the best selling book The Art of Loving says, "The mother-child relationship is paradoxical and, in a sense, tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mother's side, yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother, and to become fully independent.” Fromm believed “the true nature of love, … always had the common elements of care, responsibility, respect, and knowledge.”
