Mothers Day (and motherhood worship) dates back to the ancient Greeks with the festival of Cybele (a mother of gods), and the celebration of Rhea (wife of the mythological Cronos). Modern American Mothers Day was reportedly conceived by Julia Ward Howe in the post-Civil War era as an homage to "the inherent pacifism of mothers." The holiday is now celebrated around the world on varying dates, but owes is basis to mostly to these initiatives. Throughout Africa, Mothers Day follows the British model and much of East Asia has now adopted the United States' version.
