Buenas Dia De Las Madres…Don’t Say You Heard It From Me But, Did You Know…(Video)

In Mexico City in 1917, a young man from the state of Puebla named Rafael Alducin Bedolla founded what was to become an important newspaper called Excelsior. In April of 1922 he invited all interested parties to a convention to propose a nationwide holiday in Mexico dedicated to Mexican motherhood. As a result of this convention the first official Mexican “Día de la Madre” was celebrated on May, 10th, 1922. Guess what…it was a Wednesday! Why they didn’t follow the second Sunday idea we’ll probably never know. Anyway, let's all get together and sing "Las Mañanitas" to our mother's..!! (see video)
