The Story of Mother's Day

母亲节的故事

As Christianity spread throughout Europe the celebration changed to honor the "Mother Church" - the spiritual power that gave them life and protected them from harm. Over time the church festival blended with the Mothering Sunday celebration . People began honoring their mothers as well as the church.

随着基督教在欧洲的广泛传播，这一天逐渐演变为"母亲礼拜日", 以纪念给予基督徒生命和保护他们不受伤害的精神力量。再以后，对"母亲礼拜日"和"妈妈的星期天"逐渐合为一体。此后，人们在这一天中就既庆祝母亲的节日又举行基督教的礼拜。
