Antwerp is different

When Antwerp, a generous artist, and Alderman Franz van Quick introduced a Mother’s Day on August 15, 1913, American Mother’s Day was not yet known, the feast day of Mary (our Lady of Ascension), the city’s patron since 1124. It was the day of the great Mary procession. According to the Antwerp ships, the social order was completely affected by radical modernization at the turn of the century. His solution: to restore and nurture the family’s kite.

According to Van Quick, everything had to be done to visualize the mother’s role in the family and community. A special day seemed like a great technique to him. Van Quick mobilized local newspapers and schools, published a screenplay, and formed a campaign team. The kids and dad had to surprise mom with decorations, occasional verses, flowers, special sandwiches and even jewelry.
