Happy
Mother’s Day
Mother's Day is celebrated in the
United States
on the second
Sunday of May. Families often get
together to celebrate the occasion with a meal, and they give cards, gifts, and
flowers to honor the mothers and grandmothers in the family.
Those who can’t come home telephone their mom to wish her a happy
Mother’s Day.
One of our staff remembers a custom at his childhood church on Mother's Day.
This custom is interesting, but probably is not common*:
"After the church service on Mother's Day, the minister gave potted plants
and flowers to the oldest mother in attendance, the youngest mother, the mother
with the most kids, and the grandmother with the most grandkids, to name a few
of the awards."
* Another person is saying:
“I haven't seen what he described. I can't really remember any thing
special happening on Mother's Day in church. I guess I can let you know after
mass this Sunday.”
