This is to my mom! Happy Mother's Day! And to all the other moms, this day we dedicate to you!
The history that lies behind Mother's Day has been traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honor of Rhea (also known as Gaea), the Mother of the Gods. Rhea's husband Cronus was jealous of his children, so he swallowed the babies of Rhea one by one as they were born. Finally, Rhea tricked Cronus by giving him a rock wrapped in blankets. And so young Zeus survived his father's jealous rampage.
