Mother’s Day — текст на английском
Mother’s Day is held on the second Sunday in May of every year. It’s one of the most important commercial holidays in the nation. The holiday is over one hundred years old and was officially declared a federal holiday in 1914. Originally, the holiday was celebrated by hanging a flag to recognize the mothers who had a child who died in war. Today, it has no association with war whatsoever. Mother’s Day is completely apolitical.
Mother’s Day is, just as the name implies, a celebration of everything to do with mothers. It’s common for people to buy expensive gifts for their mothers or, at the very least, to send them a card showing their appreciation. Mother’s Day cards have become among the most commercially successful items associated with the holiday. It’s one of the times of year where card companies are just swamped, more so than other occasions.
In the United States, children will sometimes really go over the top for their mothers on this holiday. This is particularly true of sons. In families where there is more than one son, it’s not uncommon for all of them to compete to get the best gift for their mother. This is truly a day where motherhood is venerated in the United States.
While motherhood is the main theme behind Mother’s Day, people in the United States only celebrate this holiday for their own mothers. It’s rare for people to give Mother’s Day gifts to anybody but their own mother. Some families may include the grandmothers in the celebrations but, by and large, this is a holiday celebrated within the nuclear family. The International Mother’s Day Shrine is an historic landmark in the United States where the inaugural Mother’s Day celebration was held.
День матери — русский перевод
День матери отмечается во второе воскресенье мая каждого года. Это один из самых важных коммерческих праздников в стране. Празднику более ста лет, и он был официально объявлен федеральным праздником в 1914 году. Изначально праздник отмечался вывешиванием флагов, чтобы признать матерей, у которых дети погибли на войне. Сегодня у него нет никакой связи с войной. День Матери полностью аполитичен.
День матери, как и следует из названия, является празднованием всего, что связано с матерью. Люди обычно покупают дорогие подарки своим матерям или, по крайней мере, отправляют им открытку с благодарностью. Открытки «День матери» стали одними из самых коммерчески успешных предметов, связанных с этим праздником. Это одно из времен года, когда открыточные компании просто завалены, по сравнению с другими случаями.
В Соединенных Штатах дети иногда «идут в атаку» на своих матерей в этот праздник. Это особенно касается сыновей. В семьях, где более одного сына, не редко устраиваются соревнования, кто подарит лучший подарок своей матери. Это день, когда материнство действительно почитается в Соединенных Штатах.
Хотя материнство является главной темой Дня матери, люди в Соединенных Штатах празднуют этот праздник только со своими матерями. Люди редко дарят подарки ко Дню матери кому-то другому, кроме своей собственной матери. В некоторых семьях могут присутствовать бабушки на торжествах, но, по большому счету, это праздник, отмечаемый в близкой семье.
Храм в честь Международного дня матери является исторической вехой в Соединенных Штатах, где состоялось празднование инаугурации Матери.
И в заключение статьи, небольшое стихотворение ко Дню матери, написанное на английском языке:

| Mother’s Day | День матери |
| Mother is the most important person in the life of everyone. She gave us the life, she devoted all her life and time to us, she was always near to feed us and take care of us. So for me one of the best holidays is Mother’s Day. In Russia we usually celebrate this day on the last Sunday of November. We usually give our mothers flowers and some little presents, some people take their mothers to a restaurant for dinner, we also say very nice words to them. Of course it is not the only day when we should say our mothers about our love and gratitude for everything she has done for us. In America Mother’s Day comes on the second Sunday in May. As well as in Russia, in America it is not a national holiday. The holiday was suggested by Anna Jarvis. In 1907, the day was celebrated in a church in Philadelphia. A member of that church had the Sunday morning service to honour her own mother. More and more churches in cities started having a special day to honour mothers. Since 1914, the whole country has celebrated Mother’s day. There is a tradition to wear a red or pink flower if one’s mother is living and a white flower if one’s mother is dead. This wonderful holiday is also celebrated in China, Japan, Canada and most of the European countries. | Мама – самый главный человек в жизни каждого. Она дала нам жизнь, посвятила нам всю свою жизнь и время, всегда была рядом, чтобы покормить нас и позаботиться. Поэтому для мен один из самых лучших праздников – День Матери. В России этот праздник обычно отмечается в последнее воскресенье ноября. Мы дарим мамам цветы, маленькие подарки, некоторые приглашают маму в ресторан на обед, мы обычно говорим им приятные слова. Конечно, это не единственный день, когда мы должны говорить мамам о своей любви и благодарности за все, что она для нас делала. В Америке День Матери отмечают во второе воскресенье мая. Так же как и в России, это не национальный праздник. Он был предложен Энн Джарвис. В 1907 году этот праздник отметили в церкви в Филадельфии. Член церкви провел утреннюю воскресную службу в честь своей матери. С тех пор больше и больше церквей стали выделять специальный день, чтобы почтить своих матерей. С 1914 года вся страна отмечает День Матери. Существует традиция носить красный или розовый цветок, если ваша мать жива и белый, если ее уже нет с нами. Этот замечательный праздник отмечают также в Китае, Японии, Канаде и других Европейских странах. |

L1: Mother’s day is a wonderful holiday. There are some facts about this holiday.
L 2: The earliest history of Mother’s Day dates back to the ancient times. The Greeks to held festivities honor Rhea, wife of Cronus and the mother of many deities of Greek mythology.

L. 2: The early Christians celebrated a Mother"s Day of on the fourth Sunday of Lent in honor of the Virgin Mary, the Mother of Christ. But then the custom of celebrating Mothering Sunday died out almost completely by the 19th century.
L.1: The story of Mother’s Day began in the USA with the efforts of a dynamic writer and poetess, Julia Ward Howe in 1872. She initiated a Mothers" Peace Day observance on the second Sunday in June in Boston and held the meeting for a number of years.

L. 2: Mother`s day was celebrated first in 1908 in America. Anna Jarvis is recognized as the Founder of Mother’s Day in the USA.

L.1: In the UK, Mother’s Day celebrations started by the name of Mothering Sunday, several years before the tradition found its roots in the UK. Mothering Sunday came to be celebrated following the practice in the UK of 17th century wherein children of poor families were send to work as apprentice and domestic servants with the rich. These children were allowed to visit their "Mother Church" or the Cathedral of their home town annually in the middle of the fasting month of Lent. Children met their mothers after visiting the church and presented them with flowers and special "Mothering Cakes". The custom received a set back with the advent of Industrial Revolution when the lifestyles changes. American soldiers contributed in the revival of the tradition after the World War II.
L.2: The date of Mothering Sunday in the UK varies every year. It does not correspond to the Mother"s Day festival in US which falls on the second Sunday in the month of May. Mothering Sunday in England is always celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent (the 40 day period leading up to Easter) in honor of Mary, the mother of Christ. The more commonly prepared dish of Mothering Sunday is Simnel Cake.
L.1: Simnel Cake is a special food item associated with Mothering Sunday. A Simnel cake is a rich fruit cake with a layer of almond paste on top and also in the middle. The cake is made with 11 balls of marzipan (a confection made of ground almonds or almond paste, egg whites and sugar, often molded into decorative shapes) icing on top representing the 11 disciples (Judas is not included). The cake was boiled in water, then baked. The Lenten fast dictated that the simnel cake be keep until Easter.
L.2: The word Simnel is said to have been derived from the Latin word "simila" which means a fine wheat flour mainly used for baking a cake. There is also an interesting legend associated with the use of the word Simnel. It says that once a man called Simon and his wife Nell had an argument over whether the Mothering Sunday cake should be baked or boiled. Ultimately, they did both. So the cake came be to named after both of them and was called, "SIM-NELL".

Wonderful Mother

A mother who never grows old;

And He made her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me.
And Grandma"s too...
P.2: While we honor all our mothers
with words of love and praise.

as my mother mothers me.
