Textos de apoio
O dia das mes tem a sua origem no princpio do sculo XX, quando uma jovem americana, Anna Jarvis, perdeu
sua me e entrou em completa depresso. Preocupadas com aquele sofrimento, algumas amigas tiveram a idia
de perpetuar a memria da me de Annie com uma festa. Annie quis que a homenagem fosse estendida a todas
as mes, vivas ou mortas. Em pouco tempo, a comemorao e, conseqentemente, o dia das mes se
alastraram por todo o pas e, em 1914, a data foi oficializada pelo presidente Woodrow Wilson: 9 de maio.
Muitos pases celebram essa ocasio em datas diferentes por causa das vrias origens desse dia.
No Brasil, o dia das mes celebrado no segundo domingo de maio, conforme decreto assinado em 1932 pelo
presidente Getlio Vargas.
Em geral, a data celebrada com as famlias reunidas no almoo de domingo, no qual as mes, ou aquelas
pessoas que fazem o papel de mes, recebem presentes de seus filhos.
History and customs...
Different countries celebrate Mother's Day on various days of the year because the day has a number of
different origins. In Brazil, in the USA and other countries, Mothers' Day is a holiday celebrated on second
Sunday in May. It is a day when children honor their mothers with cards, gifts, and flowers.
In the 1600's, in England there was an annual observance called "Mothering Sunday". It was celebrated
during Lent, on the fourth Sunday. On Mothering Sunday, the servants, who generally lived with their employers,
were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers. It was traditional for them to bring a special cake along
to celebrate the occasion.
In the US, in 1908 Ana Jarvis, from Grafton, West Virginia, began a campaign to establish a national
Mother's Day. Jarvis persuaded her mother's church in Grafton, West Virginia to celebrate Mother's Day on the
anniversary of her mother's death. A memorial service was held there on May 10, 1908 and in Philadelphia the
following year where Jarvis moved. Jarvis and others began a letter-writing campaign to ministers, businessmen,
and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mother's Day. They were successful. President Woodrow
Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother's Day a national observance that was to be
held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May.
Many other countries of the world celebrate their own Mother's Day at different times throughout the year.
Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May, as in
Brazil and in the USA.
People celebrate the date gathering with their mothers and giving them flowers, chocolates, cards and
gifts.

 Always change your underwear; you never know when you'll have an accident.
Don't make that face or it'll freeze in that position.
Be careful or you'll put your eye out.
What if everyone jumped off a cliff? Would you do it, too?
You have enough dirt behind those ears to grow potatoes!
Close that door! Were you born in a barn?
If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
Don't put that in your mouth; you don't know where it's been!
Mother poem
M... is for the million things she gave me,
O... means only that she's growing old,
T... is for the tears she shed to save me,
H... is for her heart of purest gold;
E... is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
R... means right, and right she'll always be.
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER".
A word that means the world to me.
Howard Johnson (c. 1915)
