[Updated April 14, 2023 2:29 PM] The date of Mother’s Day changes every year. In 2023, it is that of Sunday June 4 that should be noted in your diary. If this celebration has a commercial aspect, it also represents a real opportunity to celebrate moms. And for that, the means are varied! A gift, a poem or simply a few words to tell your mom that you love her… Not being a poet who wants to, however, it is sometimes difficult to find the right wording to translate the feelings we feel to the first woman in his life.
Like every year in view of the date of Mother’s Day, we therefore offer you message templates, as well as quotes, poems and cards, to delight your mom in an ever more personalized way! Eye to eye, with a card, in a long letter, or even by SMS, with a short or poetic, modern or childish version, here are the texts that will inspire you to wish “Happy Birthday” to your mom and no doubt tell him a little more than that.
Every last Sunday of May, we are used to celebrating Mother’s Day in France. The next edition of the celebration of mothers, however, takes place in June, because the last Sunday of May, the 28th, is that year already taken by Pentecost. It is therefore the date of Sunday, June 4 that must be remembered for Mother’s Day 2023.

As reported by L’Express, it was in 1906 that Mother’s Day was born, when the village of Artas (Isère) organized a ceremony in honor of the mothers of large families. Two mothers of nine children were then awarded the prize for High Maternal Merit. The village continues today to claim the creation of Mother’s Day in France. In 1918, after the First World War, Lyon followed the movement born in the United States and paid tribute to mothers and wives who had lost their sons and/or husbands. This Mother’s Day was made official by the government in 1929. In 1942, Marshal Pétain gave the event a more solemn tone, notably in a message on the radio: “Only you know how to give everyone this taste for work, this sense of discipline, modesty, respect which make healthy men and strong peoples. You are the inspiration of our Christian civilisation”. Rather than celebrating mothers, the goal is to boost the birth rate in France.cc
But the tradition of Mother’s Day actually dates back to the dawn of time, or almost! The Greeks already celebrated mothers in their own way, by adoring Rhea, the mother of Zeus, at the time of spring. A Mother’s Day of sorts, since they also celebrated fertility. Among Christians too, this symbol has long endured. Each year, at the time of the fourth Sunday of Lent, believers went to pray in the “mother” church, the most important in their region. It was a question of celebrating in a particular way a passage of a Gregorian chant, the introit, which evokes mother’s milk.
