第一個母親節 (Mother's
Day) :1914年5月9日
你知道慶祝母親節的花朵是哪一種嗎?康乃馨 (Carnation) 是代表這一天的花朵:粉紅色代表母親還建在,白色代表母親已經去世了。因為威廉‧麥金萊 (William
McKinley) 總統總是在身上別著一朵白色的康乃馨,而那是他母親最喜愛的花朵。
現在人們慶祝母親節的方式包括贈送禮物、拜訪父母,以及獻花等等。在英國、法國、瑞典、丹麥、印度、中國,以及墨西哥等地,母親節一共有兩天。當然,如果你問你的母親,她可能會告訴你每天都是母親節。
Do you know the official flower of Mother's Day? Carnations have come to represent the day--pink for mothers living, white for those passed away. This is because of President William McKinley's habit of always wearing a white carnation, his mother's favorite flower.
Mother's Day is now celebrated with gifts, visits, and flowers. Around the world in England, France, Sweden, Denmark, India, China, and Mexico, they celebrate moms for two days. Of course, if you ask your mom, she might tell you that every day is Mother's Day.
