The celebration of Mother's Day began in the United States in the early
20th century; it is not related to the many celebrations of mothers
and motherhood that have occurred throughout the world over thousands
of years, such as the Greek cult to Cybele, the Roman festival of
Hilaria, or the Christian Mothering Sunday celebration (originally a
celebration of the mother church, not motherhood). Despite this, in
some countries Mother's Day has become synonymous with these older
traditions
