I assume it was replaced with mothers day?
A lot of today's popular customs pre-date Christianity and celebrate the gods of nature and fertility.
I think Mother's Day was independent of all that. Hang on a sec.
well Mother's Day has been around a LOT LONGER than I have.
Use to make ours out of Dixey cups and pipe cleaners. Candy and flowers (usually dandy lions)
ANna Jarvis initiared Mother's Day to honor her mother. She later regretted the commercialism surrounding it.
the modern American version of the holiday began in the United States in the early 20th century at the initiative of Anna Jarvis, who organized the first Mother's Day service of worship and celebration at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia, which serves as the International Mother's Day Shrine today.[1] It is not directly related to the many traditional celebrations of mothers and motherhood that have existed throughout the world over thousands of years, such as the Greek cult to Cybele, the mother deity Rhea, the Roman festival of Hilaria, or the other Christian ecclesiastical Mothering Sunday celebration (associated with the image of Mother Church).[2][3][4][5] However, in some countries, Mother's Day is still synonymous with these older traditions.[6]
