每日背誦第四期23
The ancient Greeks and Romans were hip to how precious moms were; the predecessor to Mother's Day may very well have been a Greek spring festival dedicated to Rhea, mother of the gods and goddesses. In Rome, honoring mothers came in the form of a three-day celebration called Hilaria, where people worshipped the mother goddess Cybele. Some say these Roman ceremonies evolved into England's "Mothering Sunday", a celebration much like our modern Mother's Day, to honor Mary, mother of Christ.
早在古希臘和古羅馬時代，母親的偉大就已倍受肯定。母親節(jié)的前身很可能是希臘某個春季的節(jié)慶，用以獻給眾神之母－－ 瑞意。在羅馬，榮膺表彰的母親們一齊聚集到希拉利雅，參加為期三天的慶典，人們在此祭祀眾神之母－－賽貝兒。有人認為，羅馬的慶典后來演化成英國人紀念圣母瑪利亞的“母親日”，那已經(jīng)與現(xiàn)代母親節(jié)非常相似。
(短文節(jié)選,本篇始于：聽聽媽媽的故事)
