엽서꽃 : Mother’s day has evolved in many countries in different ways. This is because mother’s day has different origins in different countries and therefore occurs on different days in the year. One school of thought claims that this day emerged from the custom of mother worship in ancient Greece. Mother worship which kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of gods, and Rhea, the wife of Cronus, was held on March 15 to March 18 around Asia Minor. They insist that this custom spread around the world. Mothering Sunday is the celebration of motherhood in the United Kingdom. It is also known as Mid-lent Sunday, Rose Sunday and Laetare Sunday. It originally comes from the Victorian practice of allowing servants to return home to visit their mothers on this day. In the United States, Julia Ward Howe (May 27, 1819 - October 17, 1910) was a prominent American abolitionist, social activist, and poet. Howe’s Battle Hymn of the Republic was first published in the Atlantic Monthly in 1862 and quickly became one of the most popular songs for the Union during the American Civil War. After the war she focused her activities on the causes of Pacifism and women’s suffrage. In 1870 she was the first to proclaim Mother’s Day, with her Mother’s Day Proclamation. U.S. President Woodrow Wilson approved Mother’s Day in 1914

세속적 인 휴일 : 미국 독립 선언(美國獨立宣言, The Declaration of Independence)은 1776년 7월 4일 당시의 영국의 식민지 상태에 있던 13개의 주가 서로 모여 필라델피아 인디펜던스 홀에서 독립을 선언한 사건을 일컬으며, 이 사건은 〈미국 독립선언문〉에 기록되어 있다. 오늘날 미국에서는 7월 4일을 독립기념일로 삼아 축제를 하고 있다. 독립 선언이 있은 후 약 8년간에 걸친 싸움 끝에 1783년 9월 3일에 비로소 미국은 영국과 프랑스로부터 이른바 〈파리 조약〉을 거쳐 완전한 독립을 인정받게 되었다.
