The Origins of Mother's Day: A History of Transmission
From Ancient Greece to the 1950 Law
The veneration of maternal figures is a millennia-old tradition. The Greeks already celebrated Rhea, mother of the Olympian gods, during great spring festivals. The Romans, for their part, honored Cybele, the mother goddess of nature, during the Hilaria. This fervor crossed centuries and borders.
In France, it was under the Third Republic that the idea took on an official dimension, particularly to encourage birth rates after the human losses of the First World War. It was finally the law of May 24, 1950 that definitively established Mother's Day in France, set for the last Sunday of May, the date we still celebrate today.
Transmission, a Core Value at Château des Coccinelles
This notion of transmission deeply touches us. Our estate was founded in 1978, among the pioneers of organic farming in the Gard. Since then, three generations have succeeded one another to keep this heritage alive: vines cultivated with respect, wines that reflect the authenticity of a Mediterranean terroir, a passion transmitted with pride.
Offering a wine from Château des Coccinelles for Mother's Day means offering a piece of this history, a gift with meaning, taste, and roots.
