H.R. No. 536 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Mother's Day is among the most cherished | ||
celebrations in Mexican culture, and many Texans of Mexican descent | ||
are observing El Día de las Madres on May 10, 2023; and | ||
WHEREAS, Inspired by their neighbors to the north, Mexicans | ||
began observing a Mother's Day holiday in the early part of the 20th | ||
century; the celebrations of Mother's Day in Mexico and in the | ||
United States bear many similarities, with children often | ||
presenting their mothers with gifts of candy, cards, or flowers and | ||
treating them to a special lunch or dinner; and | ||
WHEREAS, In some Mexican cities, it is customary for children | ||
to begin the day by serenading their mothers at their bedside, and | ||
some even engage mariachi bands to accompany them; many families go | ||
on to attend a special mass and community breakfast; regardless of | ||
the traditions that families embrace, the greatest gift of all is | ||
the precious time spent with loved ones; and | ||
WHEREAS, The bond of affection shared between mother and | ||
child is eternal, and Mother's Day offers a welcome opportunity for | ||
all to express gratitude to their mothers for the unconditional | ||
love, support, and wisdom that they have given them throughout | ||
their lives; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby commemorate Mexican Mother's Day on May 10, | ||
2023, and extend warmest best wishes to the Texas families who are | ||
taking part in this treasured occasion. | ||
