DAY IN ST. HELENS

The spirit of our modern Mother’s Day has came down to us
through the ages.
•
The custom of Mothering Sunday originated in pagan times.
Among the ancient Romans a festival of the Hilaria or Mother
of the Gods was held, when the people made offerings in the
temple.
The name “Mothering Sunday” arose from the fact that in the
early days of Christianity a day was established when it was in
cumbent upon children to visit their parents and their mother
church, taking with them some gift.
In England it became rhe custom among the young men and
women who were occupied as apprentices or servants or who lived
at some distance from their first homes to return_ for a visit on
This was called
this occasion, carrying gifts for their parents,
"going a-Mothering.”
In our own country this old custom was introduced by the
__
Association, which was incorporated
__________
Mother’s Day International
by a special "act of Congress several years ago. The Association,
founded by Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia, was formed to
develop an interest in observing the second Sunday in May as
Mother’s Day, set apart for the purpose of showing our love and
devotion to our mothers by remembering them with gifts and in
various other ways. Moiher’s Day has become one of the largest
church attendance days of the year.
