The symbol of carnations
Carnations mostly represent love, charm, and respect, with red representing love and care. The legend says that pink carnations sprouted where the Virgin Mary shed tears of sorrow upon seeing Jesus suffer. Therefore, pink carnations have become an enduring symbol of母爱 (maternal love). Unlike roses, carnations represent a more subtle and warm love, suitable for describing family love, so children often present carnations to their parents.
The story of carnations
On the thin and tender stems, bright and beautiful flowers bloom, with petals that are tightly packed and do not wither easily, leaves that are long and do not curl, flowers that are graceful and elegant in appearance, and colorful and beautiful in color, with an intoxicating and rich fragrance that is sweet and elegant, making people spellbound. This is the flower given to mothers on Mother's Day——carnation. Everyone knows that the second Sunday of May each year is a very touching festival——Mother's Day. On this day, careful and filial children will buy a bouquet of carnations, hand it to the mother who raised them, and repay her for her years of upbringing. There is a touching story behind the origin of this festival!
May 9, 1906, was an ordinary day, but for Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, it was a day of extreme sadness because on this day, her beloved mother passed away forever. Since then, she has been in tears every day, missing her mother. In 1907, on the anniversary of her mother's death, she hoped that everyone would wear white carnation flowers to remember her mother and proposed that the second Sunday of May be designated as Mother's Day. She wrote numerous letters to many influential people, proposing her suggestion. With her efforts, on May 10, 1908, her hometown of Philadelphia organized and held the world's first Mother's Day celebration. Subsequently, the Seattle Presbyterian Church took the lead in activities praising母爱 (maternal love). The famous American writer Mark Twain wrote a letter to Miss Anna Jarvis, praising her great undertaking, which would have a profound impact on human history. He said that he would also wear a white carnation to mourn his loving mother. After Anna and everyone's relentless efforts, the U.S. Congress finally passed a resolution on May 7, 1914, designating the second Sunday of May as National Mother's Day to show respect and gratitude for all mothers, and President Wilson issued the order on May 9 of the same year.
Later, "Mother's Day" was accepted by people all over the world. On this day, children either do household chores to let their hardworking mothers rest well, or accompany their mothers on outings, or give their mothers gifts... But no matter what form of celebration, beautiful carnations are indispensable.
