This Sunday, May 11th, is Mother’s Day. It is a special occasion that honors the incredible women who have nurtured and guided us throughout our lives. The origins of Mother’s Day can be traced back to ancient civilizations. The ancient Greeks held festivals in honor of Rhea, the mother of the gods, while the Romans celebrated Hilaria, a day of rejoicing in honor of Cybele, the mother of the gods. However, the modern iteration of Mother’s Day began in the early 20th century in the United States.
In 1908, Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother in West Virginia, advocating for a dedicated day to honor mothers. This led to the first official Mother’s Day celebration in 1914 when President Woodrow Wilson declared the second Sunday in May as a national holiday. Over the years, Mother’s Day has evolved into a global celebration, marked by the giving of flowers, cards, and gifts to express love and gratitude towards mothers.
As we step into this beautiful tradition of showing appreciation, one delightful way to celebrate is with a warm bowl of SoLe’ SoupS. Soup with Mom symbolizes warmth, comfort, and the cherished moments spent together. Celebrate the sacrifices she’s made, the lessons she’s taught, and the love she’s given. Enjoy the moment; it’s a reminder that love, much like soup, is best shared.
