The veneration of the cult of mother and motherhood dates back to the times of ancient Greece. The ancient Greeks worshiped the goddess Gaia. She was considered the mother of everything that was on earth: plants, animals, giants, titans, and even Sky and Sea.

The ancient Celts honored Bridget. This warrior goddess was able to find a middle ground between male strength and female beauty. The Romans celebrated a three-day festival in March dedicated to Cybilae. She was the patroness of all life on earth.

Mother's Sunday was celebrated by the British in the 17th century. Children living and working far from their parents came home with gifts, and employers were required to provide a day off.

And today, in the 21st century, Mother's Day is a special day on which pregnant women and mothers are honored.

Fourth Sunday of November

In new Russia, they began to celebrate Mother's Day from the end of the last century. The idea was submitted by the chairman of the Women's Affairs Committee, A.V. Aparina. By decree of Boris Yeltsin, the fourth Sunday in November became the day of celebration.

On this day, little children make surprises for their mothers. Elders come to mothers with gifts, bouquets, and invite them to various entertainment events. In cities and villages, festivals and asphalt drawing competitions are organized in squares. On Russian Mother's Day, festive concert programs and exhibitions are always held. There’s just a congratulatory boom on social networks!

Mother's day abroad

A single, international Mother's Day has not yet been approved by the UN. In some countries, for example, Ukraine, Finland, USA, China, Japan, Belgium, mothers and expectant mothers are honored on the second Sunday in May. And in Sweden and France, mothers are congratulated on the last Sunday of spring.

Our closest neighbors also honor mothers. In Belarus they do this on October 14, in Georgia on March 3, and in hot Kazakhstan, on September 16.

Monument to mother - the most precious thing on earth

Almost all countries have developed their own traditions. In America, for example, children whose mothers are already in the other world attach white innocent carnations to their clothes. Estonians decorate their cities festively, and residents of Helsinki bring flowers to the Mother-Worker monument on the day of honoring mothers.

Every country in the world has beautiful monuments to mothers. Here is just a small selection of photographs.

Russia

Moscow region, Zelenograd

The city authorities have conceived an interesting project “City Rest”. Within its framework, 12 sculptural compositions will be installed, the first of which is dedicated to motherhood. A woman with a baby under her heart, dressed in the style of the 50s of the last century, rolls a stroller with a one-year-old child.

The composition was performed by Zelenograd sculptor Sergei Mantserev. He took the images from photographs provided by the director of one of the furniture factories (his mother and himself). He also paid for the materials and work. Happy childhood when mom is nearby...

In Novosibirsk there is a stunningly beautiful place “Mother Square”. In 2006, a monument to the mother, “Mother and Child,” appeared in the most comfortable place in the park. The symbol of care, beauty and tenderness is made of marble, which, by the way, was delivered from Kazakhstan.

Tyumen

In Tyumen park, located near the perinatal center, in 2010, on the occasion of Children's Day, an interesting sculpture was unveiled: a mother (in late pregnancy) with her children.

The monument is made of bronze.

We choose natural Karelian granite for monuments

The stone-processing factory "Danila-Master" offers you grave monuments made of natural Karelian gabbro granite - diabase, the best stone in terms of price-quality ratio, service life and reliability.
Let us clarify only the main of its many advantages.

Strength and Durability:

Granite - translated from Latin as “grain”, is so named because it is a granular volcanic rock that was formed as a result of the cooling and hardening of magma. This is a very dense stone that does not allow moisture to pass through, is resistant to deformation, air temperature fluctuations, ultraviolet radiation and is excellent for outdoor use. The service life of granite products is 500-600 years, which is many times longer than all other types of stone.

Ease of processing and design:

A portrait, drawing, and even a painting of any complexity can be easily applied to a granite monument. The mirror-polished black surface of the stone will retain the amazing clarity of the engraving, contrast of shades and halftones for many centuries. And the experienced craftsmen of the Danila-Master company create models of various shapes from granite with skillfully executed lines, bas-reliefs and decorative elements.

Care requirements:

Unlike some other materials that require special annual treatment, caring for a granite monument consists only of periodically wiping it from dust. Occasionally, granite is treated with polish, which is not necessary. Dirt can be removed with ordinary soapy water and a soft cloth. The stone does not require any other measures.

Monument production technology from the Danila-Master company

Making grave monuments involves a number of complex production processes. Let's briefly look at each stage.

Stone mining. There are three ways to obtain granite:

method of directed explosion (the most “barbaric” and destructive for stone);

air cushion method (granite is mined by breaking rock under air pressure);

using a stone cutter requires expensive equipment and trained employees. But this is our choice because it is the most modern and gentle on the stone. The resulting monument is of excellent quality without any defects.

Delivery to the place of production.

The advantage of our company in this process is that before it begins, specialists eliminate the possibility of low-quality stone entering the production. Those blocks that were injured during mining are immediately rejected. Transportation of granite is carried out by special transport and is carefully controlled to eliminate the risk of damage to the stone.

Granite processing - includes several additional steps:

sawing is cutting a block into separate slabs of a certain size. Only professional equipment allows you to do this correctly, preserving all the beauty and integrity of the stone;

grinding - used to remove roughness, abrasions and irregularities from the surface of the future monument. This stage is carried out with special diamond discs, which have a very high price;

stone polishing - this procedure achieves a unique gloss for which the granite monument is famous. In our company, granite polishing is carried out in 11 stages, which gives the stone a noble appearance and a luxurious mirror shine;

finishing- masters of the figure shop embody the most daring ideas, decorate the monument with various bas-reliefs and finials.

Engraving, drawing portraits and inscriptions."Danila-Master" can offer this service in various ways:

sandblasting method- suitable for symbols, inscriptions and simple drawings;

clients who prefer manual drawing of portraits, can use this service at any office of the company.

The benefits of ordering a grave monument from the manufacturer

a streamlined process for making monuments and a team of qualified employees, provide us with the opportunity to independently set prices for our products;

Monument “Mother Patroness” (Cheboksary, Russia) - description, history, location, reviews, photos and videos.

  • Tours for May in Russia
  • Last minute tours in Russia

The Patroness Mother monument is considered one of the main attractions not only of Cheboksary, but of the entire Chuvashia. This sculpture is dedicated to all mothers who protect their children.

The sculpture of the Patron Mother looks in such a way that it seems as if she is hugging the entire city. At the same time, she seems to bless all Cheboksary residents and protect them from troubles.

The sculpture is located in the historical part of the city, to be more precise, on a hill on the western embankment of Cheboksary Bay. This monument is still relatively young - it was installed on May 9, 2003. However, during this time, the Patroness Mother has already become a symbol of Cheboksary. In addition, it is the dominant feature of the capital of Chuvashia. The height of the sculpture is 46 m. ​​In the Chuvash language, the name of the Patron Mother sounds like “Anne-Pireshti”.

On the pedestal there is an inscription in two languages ​​- Russian and Chuvash: “Blessed are my children who live in peace and love.” The sculpture of the Patron Mother looks in such a way that it seems as if she is hugging the entire city. At the same time, she seems to bless all Cheboksary residents and protect them from troubles.

The Orthodox Church treats the Patroness Mother monument with caution. According to some representatives of the clergy, the sculpture is very reminiscent of pagan idols. That is why the church asks not to give special powers to the Patron Mother. In connection with this, there was even a conflict in Cheboksary. Andrei Berman, rector of the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, accused Metropolitan Barnabas (Kedrov) of idolatry. The reason for this was the consecration of the sculpture by the Metropolitan.

It is interesting that the Chuvash opened a special charitable foundation to create the Patron Mother. Famous people of the republic took part in its work: artists, architects, journalists and many others. They offered their ideas and made suggestions on what the future landmark of the city should look like. Work on creating the sculpture was carried out under the leadership of architect Vladimir Nagornov. By the way, the initiator of the creation of the “Patroness Mother” monument was the first president of Chuvashia, Nikolai Fedorov.

It is worth noting that the monument is impressive not only during the day, but also at night. There are many lanterns on the stairs leading to the sculpture, and next to the pedestal there are spotlights, so that the Patron Mother looks even more grandiose when illuminated. In addition, by climbing all the steps, you can take excellent panoramic pictures of the city. By the way, the sculpture can be considered one of the most popular places in Cheboksary where photo sessions are held. Both tourists and local residents come here for these purposes. And newlyweds are absolutely required.
