Mother day

Mother's Day 2024 in the USA: Its History, Meaning and Is It a  Holiday?


Every year on the second Sunday of May, the United States observes Mother's Day and celebrates Mother's Day. 

 


 Mother's Day is a time to celebrate not only birth parents, but also grandmothers, uncles, adoptive mothers, adoptive parents, and all the women who play a nurturing role in our lives. It is a day to appreciate the strength, love and guidance they provide.

Mother’s Day 2024: History

The origins of Mother's Day in the United States date back to the mid-19th century, thanks to the efforts of many dedicated women. Social activist Julia Ward Howe advocated "Peace Parents' Day" to unite parents against war. But the holiday as we know it today is largely thanks to Anna Jarvis, who  tirelessly advocated filial piety after her  mother's death. In 1914, Mother's Day  became a national holiday. 

 

  History.com says: “The origins of Mother's Day, celebrated in the United States, date back to the 19th century. In the years before the Civil War, West Virginia's Ann Reeves Jarvis  helped organize "Work Day  Clubs" to teach local women how to properly care for their children. 

 

 “These clubs later became a unifying force in  the country due to the divisions experienced during the Civil War and have survived to this day. In 1868, Jarvis organized "Parents' Friendship Day," in which parents brought together veterans and Union  soldiers to promote reconciliation. ” 

 

 “Another foreshadowing of Mother's Day came from the departure and election of Julia Ward Howe. In 1870, Howe wrote the “Mother's Day Proclamation,” calling on people to unite to promote world peace. Howe added that in 1873 he campaigned for the observance of "Parents' Peace Day" on June 2 each year.

Rudy Youngblood, Raoul Trujillo, Mayra Sérbulo, Dalia Hernández, Gerardo Taracena, Rodolfo Palacios, Bernardo Ruiz Juarez, Ammel Rodrigo Mendoza, Ricardo Diaz Mendoza, and Israel Contreras are among the American Indian and Indigenous



Mexican performers who appear in the movie. Apocalypto, which takes place in Yucatán circa 1517, tells the story of the heroic voyage of a young Mesoamerican hunter named Jaguar Paw and his fellow tribesmen who are taken prisoner by an invading troop. They are taken on a dangerous journey to a Maya city for human sacrifice during a period when the Maya civilization is in decline after their village is destroyed.



The main photography was done in Mexico between November 21, 2005, and July 6, 2006. Every indigenous person portrayed in the movie was a Maya. Furthermore, the conversation is entirely in a contemporary rendition of the setting's old tongue, while the Indigenous Yucatec Mayan language is spoken with subtitles that occasionally allude to it as Mayan.



Buena Vista Pictures handled North American distribution for Apocalypto, while Icon Film Distribution handled distribution for the UK and Australia. Critics praised Gibson's direction, Dean Semler's cinematography, and the cast performances, while critics criticized the portrayal of Maya civilization and historical inaccuracies. The film was a box office success, grossing over $120 million worldwide.


A group of refugees escaping conflict and destruction are encountered by Jaguar Paw, his father Flint Sky, and other tribe members while hunting in the Mesoamerican rainforest. When they get back to their community, Flint Sky tells Jaguar Paw not to ever let fear get the better of him after observing that the refugees are ill with fear.






Later that evening, the tribe assembles around an elder who shares a prophecy about a being who, in spite of all the gifts handed to him, is consumed by an unsatisfied emptiness. The creature will keep consuming mindlessly until the planet is gone and there is nothing left for him to take.
