The Evolution of Mother's Day
Mother’s Day started in America in 1908 because of Anna Jarvis. It was meant to be a day to thank moms. But over time, it became a day to thank all mother figures. However, it also became very focused on buying things, which made Anna Jarvis unhappy.
Long ago, people celebrated mother goddesses like Cybele and Rhea. These celebrations influenced modern Mother’s Day. Even today, in places like India, festivals like Durga-puja honor mother figures. Mother’s Day is not just about saying thanks to moms but also about recognizing the love and care of all mother figures, no matter where they are.
What will you do to celebrate Mother's Day?
The Allure of Golden Week: Exploring Japan's Beloved Holiday Tradition
Golden Week in Japan is more than just a series of public holidays strung together; it's a cultural phenomenon deeply ingrained in the hearts of the Japanese people. Spanning from late April to early May, this week-long holiday is a time of joy, celebration, and exploration for millions across the country. But what exactly makes Golden Week so special?
First and foremost, Golden Week offers a rare opportunity for many Japanese workers to take a well-deserved break from the hustle and bustle of daily life. In a society known for its strong work ethic and long hours, this extended holiday period provides a welcome respite, allowing families to come together, friends to reunite, and individuals to spend in some much-needed relaxation.
For many, Golden Week is also a time to travel and explore the beauty of Japan. With the entire nation seemingly on vacation, popular tourist destinations such as Kyoto, Tokyo, and Hiroshima come alive with activity.
Golden Week holds a special place in the hearts of the Japanese people for a multitude of reasons. Whether it's the opportunity to relax and unwind, the chance to explore new experiences, or the joy of coming together with loved ones, this beloved holiday tradition embodies the essence of Japanese culture and spirit.
