En tiempos pasados, los griegos honraban a Rea y los romanos veneraban a Cibeles, ambas veneradas como Diosas Madre. Estas fiestas se celebraban en primavera, ya que tanto la maternidad como la fertilidad est\u00e1n asociadas a la idea del florecimiento de una nueva vida.<\/p>\n<div class=\"internal-linking-related-contents-pro\"><a href=\"https:\/\/conversaspanishinstitute.com\/es\/blog\/false-friends\/\" class=\"template-4\"><img width=\"250\" height=\"159\" src=\"https:\/\/conversaspanishinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/CONVERSA-false-friends.png\" class=\"alignleft wp-post-image\" alt=\"CONVERSA espa\u00f1ol ingl\u00e9s falsos amigos\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conversaspanishinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/CONVERSA-false-friends.png 825w, https:\/\/conversaspanishinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/CONVERSA-false-friends-600x382.png 600w, https:\/\/conversaspanishinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/CONVERSA-false-friends-300x191.png 300w, https:\/\/conversaspanishinstitute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/CONVERSA-false-friends-768x489.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\"><div class=\"postTitle\"><span><strong>Leer m\u00e1s<\/strong>V\u00eddeo: Falsos amigos espa\u00f1ol-ingl\u00e9s<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div><p>Luego, en la \u00e9poca medieval, la Iglesia Cat\u00f3lica adopt\u00f3 tambi\u00e9n estas tradiciones, consagrando todo el mes de mayo a la Virgen Mar\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p>In the US, however, this is pure coincidence.

As\u00ed que en lugar de centrarnos en tarjetas, flores y todo lo bonito... \u00bfQu\u00e9 mejor forma de celebrar el D\u00eda de la Madre que hablar de las mujeres valientes de todo el mundo?<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Mother\u2019s Day in Bolivia<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>El 27 de mayo de 1812, un grupo de valientes mujeres se convirtieron en las primeras bolivianas en combate. \u00bfEl contexto hist\u00f3rico? La mayor parte de Sudam\u00e9rica en guerra luchando contra Espa\u00f1a por su independencia. Un cl\u00e1sico.<\/p>\n<p>Mientras los hombres estaban fuera luchando en una guerra sangrienta, un grupo de mujeres lideradas por una anciana abuelita ciega establecieron la resistencia para defender sus hogares en Cochabamba. Inevitablemente, sufrieron una tr\u00e1gica derrota, pero Bolivia no ha olvidado este acto heroico.<\/p>\n<p>Mother\u2019s Day now pays homage to these heroic women who helped free Bolivia from the Spanish crown. Today, their legacy is kept alive by all the families in Bolivia who celebrate Mother\u2019s Day. This holiday is serious business over there. Schools prepare weeks in advance to invite mothers and celebrate with them. Kids bake their moms creamy cakes and families gather and congratulate not just one\u2019s own mother, but all mother\u2019s in their circle of family and friends. It\u2019s truly a beautiful, warm day filled with love.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Mother\u2019s Day in Mexico<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Officially, Mexicans celebrate Mother\u2019s Day on May 10th. May because it\u2019s Virgin Mary\u2019s month. The 10th because that\u2019s when workers were paid back in the day.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfExtraoficialmente? Nada m\u00e1s lejos de la realidad.<\/p>\n<p>Si investigamos un poco, nos enteramos de que en 1922 un director general de un peri\u00f3dico hizo un llamamiento a los mexicanos para que honraran el afecto y el amor de una madre. Pero, por supuesto, esto es s\u00f3lo la mitad de la historia. La mitad m\u00e1s bonita.<\/p>\n<p>Por esta \u00e9poca en Yucat\u00e1n, el movimiento feminista se fortalec\u00eda, llegando incluso a <em>hasta <\/em>como la publicaci\u00f3n de una traducci\u00f3n del activista estadounidense <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biography.com\/activist\/margaret-sanger\">Margaret Sanger\u2019s<\/a> brochure. In here, she educated women on how to avoid pregnancy attending to their menstrual cycle. This particular event didn\u2019t sit well with the country\u2019s Conservative groups. And so the movement to popularize Mother\u2019s Day was born to silence the immorality of such actions by the feminists. They hoped to cover up this scandal by celebrating the traditional role given to women \u2014 motherhood.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Qu\u00e9 decir a mam\u00e1<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The fact that in many societies nowadays Mother\u2019s Day is yet another excuse to make a killing off our pockets doesn\u2019t mean that we should stop singing our mothers\u2019 praises. Who wouldn\u2019t want to congratulate their moms for all their efforts? So set aside whatever you\u2019re doing and go grab your mom.<\/p>\n<p>But since you\u2019re here, take this opportunity to congratulate any Spanish-speaking mom in your acquaintance. Here\u2019s a few ideas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u00a1Feliz d\u00eda de la madre! \u2013<\/strong> Happy Mother\u2019s Day!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Que tengas un muy buen d\u00eda de la madre \u2013<\/strong> Hope you have a happy Mother\u2019s Day<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u00a1Gracias por ser una madre maravillosa! \u2013<\/strong> \u00a1Gracias por ser una madre maravillosa!<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u00a1Eres la mejor madre\/mam\u00e1 del mundo! \u2013<\/strong> You\u2019re the best mother\/mom in the world!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gracias por todo lo que has hecho por m\u00ed \u2013<\/strong> Thanks for everything you\u2019ve dome for me<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, don\u2019t hesitate to practice your Spanish and show your appreciation to your mom all year round.
