Learn More About The Mother's Day Heart Drawing

Mother's Day is a holiday celebrated in countries throughout the world. Common customs include children drawing greeting cards for their mothers, or giving them flowers or other small gifts.

Gifts may also be presented to grandmothers, and wives may receive flowers or other sentiments from their husbands.

In many countries, such as the United States, Mother's Day is observed on the second Sunday of May. There, Mother's Day became an official holiday in 1910, due to the efforts of a social activist to honor her own mother, who had cared for the wounded during the Civil War.

You might be surprised to learn that setting a day aside to honor mothers is a custom with a long history. According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, the modern Mother's Day is “a festival derived from the custom of mother worship in ancient Greece.

Formal mother worship, with ceremonies to Cybele, or Rhea, the Great Mother of the Gods, were performed on the Ides of March throughout Asia Minor."

Later, during the Middle Ages, it became customary for the fourth Sunday in Lent, a solemn religious observance preceding the Easter holiday, to be used to return home a visit one's mother. In Britain, this came to be called Mothering Day. At one time, pink-iced sweet buns were a part of the celebration.

Would you like to draw something to say "I love you" to your mom? This easy, step-by-step drawing guide is here to help.

You will need only a sheet of paper, an eraser, and a pencil. You may also wish to use crayons, colored pencils, or something similar to shade your finished drawing. Often, hearts are colored in shades of pink or red.
