第一个母亲节 (Mother’s
Day) :1914年5月9日
你知道庆祝母亲节的花朵是哪一种吗?康乃馨 (Carnation) 是代表这一天的花朵:粉红色代表母亲还建在,白色代表母亲已经去世了。因为威廉.麦金莱 (William
McKinley) 总统总是在身上别着一朵白色的康乃馨,而那是他母亲最喜爱的花朵。
现在人们庆祝母亲节的方式包括赠送礼物、拜访父母,以及献花等等。在英国、法国、瑞典、丹麦、印度、中国,以及墨西哥等地,母亲节一共有两天。当然,如果你问你的母亲,她可能会告诉你每天都是母亲节。
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.
