Caalarogus Shark Media. Hello trivia lovers, I'm journey Joe Mitchell, and welcome
2
00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:14.160
to a heartwarming edition of five daily
trivia questions in honor of Mother's Day.
3
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:18.399
Today, we'll be celebrating the incredible
women who have shaped our lives in the
4
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:22.519
world around us, and testing your
knowledge of famous moms, maternal traditions,
5
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:26.800
and the history of the special holiday. Question one, in which year was
6
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:35.719
Mother's Day first officially celebrated in the
United States? Question two? Which ancient
7
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:40.359
Greek goddess known as the Mother of
the Gods was celebrated in a spring festival
8
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:49.200
that some historians consider to be an
early precursor to Mother's Day. Question three?
9
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.320
What is the name of the woman
who is credited with founding Mother's Day
10
00:00:53.359 --> 00:01:00.039
in the United States? Question four? In the United States, what is
11
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:07.519
the most popular flower given as a
gift on Mother's Day? Question five?
12
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:12.159
Which country celebrates Mother's Day on the
second Sunday of May, similar to the
13
00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:17.560
United States, but also celebrates Mothering
Sunday on the fourth Sunday of Lent.
14
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.680
Take a moment to ponder these questions
and I'll be back with the answers and
15
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:32.319
some fascinating facts about the history and
traditions of Mother's Day. Welcome back Mother's
16
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:37.400
Day celebrants. Let's reveal the answers
to our questions and explore some intriguing trivia
17
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:42.040
about this special day dedicated to honoring
mothers and maternal figures. Question one asked
18
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:48.280
in which year was Mother's Day first
officially celebrated in the United States? Answer
19
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:53.840
nineteen fourteen. Fun fact. While
the idea of celebrating motherhood has ancient roots,
20
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:57.319
the modern American version of Mother's Day
was first proposed by Anna Jarvis in
21
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:02.120
nineteen oh eight. Jarvis, who
had recently lost her own mother, wanted
22
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:07.799
to create a holiday that would honour
the sacrifices and contributions of mothers everywhere.
23
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:14.879
After years of lobbying, President Woodrow
Wilson officially proclaimed Mother's Day a national holiday
24
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:20.000
in nineteen fourteen, to be celebrated
on the second Sunday in May. Interestingly,
25
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:24.159
Jarvis later became disillusioned with the commercialization
of the holiday and spent much of
26
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:30.479
her later life fighting against it.
Question two asked which ancient Greek goddess known
27
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.560
as the Mother of the Gods was
celebrated in a spring festival that some historians
28
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.680
consider to be an early precursor to
Mother's Day. Answer Rhea fun fact.
29
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:44.000
In ancient Greek mythology, Rhea was
the Titan goddess of motherhood, fertility,
30
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.560
and generation. She was the wife
of Cronus and the mother of many of
31
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:51.599
the Olympic gods, including Zeus,
Hera, Poseidon, and Hades. The
32
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:55.800
ancient Greeks celebrated Rhea in a spring
festival called the Hilaria, which involved elaborate
33
00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:00.840
feasts, processions, and offerings to
the goddess. What my Historians see the
34
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:05.400
celebration as an early precursor to Mother's
Day, as it honored the divine embodiment
35
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.039
of motherhood and the life giving power
of nature. What is the name of
36
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:12.919
the woman who is credited with founding
Mother's Day in the United States. We
37
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:17.319
covered that in the answer to question
one, Anna Jarvis. Question four asked
38
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.800
in the United States, what is
the most popular flower given as a gift
39
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:28.719
on Mother's Day? Answer? Carnations
fun fact. Carnations have long been associated
40
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.759
with Mother's Day in the United States, thanks in part to Anna Jarvis's own
41
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:38.680
tradition of distributing white carnations her mother's
favorite flower at early Mother's Day celebrations.
42
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.639
Over time, the custom evolved to
include wearing a red carnation if one's mother
43
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.960
was alive, and a white carnation
if one's mother had passed away. Today,
44
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:52.319
carnations remain a popular choice for Mother's
Day bouquets, but they are often
45
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.919
supplemented or replaced by other flowers like
roses, lilies, and tulips, depending
46
00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:02.199
on personal preferences and regional traditions.
I've asked which country celebrates Mother's Day on
47
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.840
the second Sunday of May, similar
to the United States, but also celebrates
48
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:12.719
Mothering Sunday on the fourth Sunday of
Lent. Answer the United Kingdom. Fun
49
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.399
fact. In the United Kingdom,
Mother's Day is officially known as Mothering Sunday
50
00:04:15.399 --> 00:04:19.079
and is celebrated on the fourth Sunday
of Lent, which falls three weeks before
51
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:24.439
Easter Sunday. The origins of Mothering
Sunday date back to the sixteenth century,
52
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:29.399
when Christians would visit their mother church, the main church or cathedral in their
53
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:33.079
region, for a special service.
