Mother's Day Different Ways

A day just for mothers! The person who thought up this day did so the year her mother died. (1905) She campaigned for three years for this recognition of Mother’s Day and in 1908 it came into being in the United States. It’s usually celebrated the second Sunday in May. Here are the Wiki facts: “The modern holiday of Mother’s Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother at St Andrew’s Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia. … Her campaign to make “Mother’s Day” a recognized holiday in the United States began in 1905, the year her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, died. Having this holiday helps families to bond and so I think it’s a great idea despite all the commercialism that surrounds the day.

“The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new." and so in you the child your mother lives on and through your family continues to live… so at this time look after yourself and your family as you would your mother for through you all she will truly never die.” ― Osho

“A mother is not a person to lean upon, but a person to make leaning unnecessary.” (Dorothy Canfield Fisher)

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day and it was a busy day in downtown Toronto. I visited Chapters which is a big bookstore in the Manulife Centre and many young children and older children, as well as grown-ups were there shopping for cards and other gifts for Mother’s Day. As I rode the subway, I also saw many people carrying flowers - although Mother’s Day is not until tomorrow. I passed a fine chocolate shop where many people were buying chocolates. There was definitely an excitement to all this shopping.

Mother and Child

This collage is for Mother’s Day. We all come into this world via the womb of our mothers. Whether we love them or hate them, they remain our mothers. The most well-known image of any Mother and Child is the one of Mary holding the baby Jesus. You don’t have to be Christian to have seen this one. The image of Mary and Jesus in this collage was done as part of a bigger mosaic for my son’s birthday. The pieces here are stained glass. I used pearls around Mary’s face and there is another piece of my jewelry by her neck. I don’t know why I undertook such a big project, other than to say, I did it out of love. The hands and feet of the little people in the other images are friends of mine. We all want to make sure that our babies have five fingers and five toes when they are born.
