Ancient Celebrations of Mothers and Motherhood: People in many
ancient cultures celebrated holidays honoring motherhood, personified
as a goddess. Here are just a few of those: (1) ancient Greeks celebrated
a holiday in honor of Rhea, the mother of the gods; (2) ancient Romans
celebrated a holiday in honor of Cybele, a mother goddess, March 22-25
- the celebrations were notorious enough that followers of Cybele were
banished from Rome; (3) in the British Isles and Celtic Europe, the
goddess Brigid, and later her successor St. Brigid, were honored with
a spring Mother's Day, connected with the first milk of the ewes. (From
