Ever heard how was Mothers Day first introduced into the Arab world?! It was introduced in Egypt by the journalist Mustafa Amin, in his book Smiling America.The idea was overlooked at the time. Later Amin heard the story of a widowed mother who devoted her whole life to raising her son until he became a doctor. The son then married and left without showing any gratitude to his mother. Hearing this, Amin became motivated to promote Mothers Day. Nowadays it is celebrated on 21 March, the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere! Happy Mother’s day :) #egyptian_mother’s_day #mothersday #nationaloccasion #origin
