The tradition of Mother's Day started as a spring celebration in ancient Greece honoring Rhea, the mother of all gods. Early English Christians designated a day to honor Mary, the mother of Christ. That religious holiday expanded to honor all mothers and became known as "Mothering Sunday." Unfortunately, that tradition faded away about the same time the Pilgrims came to America.
