When we think of Mother's Day it's traditionally associated as a holiday for moms in the United States and Canada. What we may not realize is that Mother's Day has been around for centuries but not always in the same form as it is celebrated today. Mothers are also honored in nearly every country and culture around the world. The earliest written record of honoring mothers comes from the ancient Egyptians. In fact, their practice of paying homage to their goddess Isis may be the very beginnings of our current Mother's Day celebrations as Isis was considered to be the mother of the Pharaohs. In more recent years, motherhood was honored on the fourth Sunday of the Lenten season. However, this was more of a celebration to honor the church, or Mother church, where the mothers were baptized. The practice included decorating the place of worship with flowers and other symbols such as jewels to beautify the buildings. By the 1600s there was a decree that established Mothe
