"Only God Himself fully appreciates the influence of a Christian mother in the moulding of character in her children". - Billy Graham.
The most beautiful word that anyone can find in this world is 'Mother'. Even the Lord Himself has given due respect to the mother, for a mother's name has been written in golden letters in the book of God. It is no wonder why at earlier times Greeks used to celebrate Mother's Day, celebrating motherhood in form of offering prayers to Rhea, mother of Zeus. Then in 1660s, the English had started celebrating mother's day as mothering Sunday on the 4th Sunday of Lent.

Even the holiest of the holy, the Bible, has references and verses in praise of this divine creature. It throws light on the importance of a mother in everyone's life.
