INTERESTING BACKSTORY OF MIDDLE EASTERN MOTHER’S DAY
Mother’s Day was first celebrated on 21st March 1956 after an Egyptian man named Moustafa Amin wrote in his daily column “Idea” in the Akhbar El Youm journal about the concept of celebrating a day honoring all the mothers. Although the idea was initially ridiculed, he later began to receive a large number of letters from people encouraging him to pursue it in order to celebrate mothers and show them an appreciation for all of their hard work. The concept got picked up, and the practice has since been copied by many other Arab countries from Bahrain to the United Arab Emirates to Iraq.
