The Queen’s Chronicles: TO ALL WHO HAVE BEEN BORN OF MOTHERS

Mother's Day was originally started after the Civil War,
as a protest to the carnage of that war, by women who
had lost their sons.

The following is the original Mother's Day Proclamation
written by Julia Ward Howe in Boston, 1870:

"Arise, then, women of this day! Arise all women who have heart,
whether our baptism be that of water or tears!

Say firmly:
'We will not have our great questions decided by irrelevant
agencies. Our husbands shall not come to us, reeking with
carnage, for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken
from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of
charity, mercy and patience. We women of one country will be
too tender of those of another country to allow our sons to be
trained to injure theirs.'

In the name of womanhood and of humanity, I earnestly ask
that a general congress of women without limits of nationality
may be appointed and held at some place deemed most
convenient and at the earliest period consider with its objects
to promote the alliance of the different nationalities, the
amicable settlement of international questions, the great and
general interests of peace."

Let us take her eloquent plea for peace to heart. In the name
of all the mothers all through time beginning with the creatrix
Mother Goddesses and in the interest of our precious Mother Earth,
let us lend our voice, our time, our money, our energy and our
passion to the cause of peace on the planet.
