Introduction

Welcome to Praise Chapel's weekly lectionary video reflections for Mother's Day! Our community and society warmly invites you to join us on this special occasion as we explore the significance of this celebration within the context of faith and beliefs. As you engage with our videos, you'll discover thought-provoking insights and be encouraged to reflect on the role of mothers in our lives and their spiritual impact.

Mother's Day and its History

Mother's Day, observed annually on the second Sunday of May, is a time-honored tradition that acknowledges and appreciates mothers, motherhood, and maternal bonds. It is a day to express gratitude and love towards our mothers, grandmothers, and maternal figures.

The concept of Mother's Day can be traced back to ancient civilizations where various cultures celebrated motherhood in their own unique ways. However, the modern-day celebration of Mother's Day as we know it today can be attributed to the efforts of Anna Jarvis, a social activist from the United States.

Anna Jarvis, inspired by her own mother's dedication and care, tirelessly campaigned for a day to honor mothers. Her efforts bore fruit in 1914 when Mother's Day was officially recognized as a national holiday in the United States. Since then, the celebration has spread worldwide and is observed in many countries.

Mother's Day and Faith

In the community and society of Praise Chapel, we believe that Mother's Day holds a special place within the framework of our faith and beliefs. Mothers are often seen as the embodiment of love, compassion, and nurturing qualities — qualities that resonate with the teachings of our faith.

On this day, we not only celebrate the role of mothers in our lives but also recognize the spiritual influence they have on shaping individuals and families. We acknowledge the sacrifices, prayers, and guidance that mothers provide, serving as a reflection of God's love for humanity.
