Mother's Day

Excerpt from Mother's Day: Its History, Origin, Celebration, Spirit, and Significance as Related in Prose and VerseAlthough the formal designation of a specific day as Mothers' Day was but recently made in this country, we find in turning the pages of history that the idea rests, like so many of our customs, upon an ancient foundation. It strikes deep roots into universal truth and emotion. Mother-love antedates the Christian re ligion. Mother-worship, with its own rites and cere monies, reaches back into pagan times.Our earliest record of formal mother-worship is in the stories of the ceremonies by which Cybele, or Rhea, The Great Mother of the Gods, was worshiped in Asia Minor. In her worship it was the power and majesty of motherhood rather than its tender maternal spirit that the wild dances and wilder music celebrated. Cybele was represented as traversing the mountains in a chariot drawn by lions. The lion, the oak and the pine were sacred to her.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
