Against the background of the fact that vacation and special days such as New Year's Day, Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween portwest and Christmas riddled with pagan elements and man-made traditions that are not in the Bible can be backed not suspect a man in advance that Mother's portwest Day is no exception this rule is not. Where does the tradition of Mother's Day came and believers Yahweh's portwest Word as supreme authority in their lives recognize this day with confidence like?
Information provided by encyclopedias about the history of Mother's given indicates that the celebration of Mother's Day goes back to the spring portwest celebrations of ancient Greece in honor of Rhea, the Mother of the Gods. Later, at 250 vM (before Christ), there are similar festivals in Rome in honor of Cybele, the Mother Goddess, held. This festival was known as Hilaria and is usually from March 15 to 18 March.
Much later, at the seventeenth portwest century, the Catholic Church in England began to "Mothering Sunday" on the fourth Sunday of the "Lent" season to keep ("Lent" is the 40 day period of repentance for "Easter" each year and 4th Sunday usually falls in March or April). This 4th Sunday of "Lent" (also called "Mid-Lent Sunday") is specifically dedicated to the mothers of England to honor. The poor workers who are often away from their families away from their masters lived and worked, this day "off" and had been encouraged to go to their families, and the day with their mothers to spend. They usually portwest have a special cake, the sg. "Mothering cake", taken home, so proper festival could be celebrated.
With the spread portwest of Christianity through Europe, it became customary to "Mothering Sunday" to the local Roman Catholic chapel, and special sacrifices to honor the "Mother Church". So today the connotation that it obtained a day's gifts to the normal mothers, as well as the larger portwest "Mother" (ie the Catholic Church) to bring. Historians believe that the reason why the "Mother Church" on this day honored, because the early church (in the time of Constantine) portwest most of the practices that had previously belonged to the mother goddess portwest linked, slightly adapted, and when this amended form the "Mother Church" linked. Ceremonies, customs and titles that Mother Cybele previously honored, by the church hired to Moerder to honor Mary. The best known example is the term "Mother of God" ("Mother of God") that still Mary used and remarkably consistent with the title ("Mother of the Gods" - sometimes "Mother of God") that has previously Rhea and Cybele portwest used.
With the onset of the Industrial Revolution at the end of the 18th century, "Mothering portwest Sunday" his prominence in England and the rest of Europe has lost. After the scene of moedersdagviering moved to America. Anna M. Jarvis (1864-1948) had the idea to come up every year a day off without which it acknowledged for the vital role of mothers in people's lives. The governor of West Virginia, the first Mother's Day Proclamation in 1910 promulgated. By 1911 there was no longer portwest a state in America where Mother not in some way celebrated. This practice soon to other countries and blown on December 12, 1912 is the "Mother's Day International Association" was founded with the purpose of the global celebration portwest of Mother's Day to promote and encourage. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson of America Mother's Day as an official holiday declared annually on the second Sunday of May to be held. The same is used today in most countries in the world because.
What does all this mean for us? As our Scripture portwest as the highest authority in our lives and accept seriously the prohibition against any form of idolatry, portwest including the clear warning of Saul us any form of idolatry must deal, and it must flee (1 Corinthians 10: 14), we must humble ourselves distanced from the traditional "Mother's portwest Day" portwest concept with its clear commitment to the worship of Cybele, the sg. "Mother of the gods", as well as Mary, the so-called "mother of God". portwest Along with this, we fully dissociate from the worship of any church itself as "mother" known or descended from the Roman Cat
