Morning Mirror is a publication run for the benefit of Bulawayo's only geriatric and frail care home - the Edith Duly Nursing home ++++ EDITORIAL The Story of Mother's Day The earliest Mother's Day celebrations can be traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honour of Rhea, the Mother of the Gods. During the 1600's, England celebrated a day called "Mothering Sunday". Celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent (the 40 day period leading up to Easter*), "Mothering Sunday" honoured the mothers of England. During this time many of the England's poor worked as servants for the wealthy. As most jobs were located far from their homes, the servants would live at the houses of their employers. On Mothering Sunday the servants would have the day off and were encouraged to return home and spend the day with their mothers. A special cake, called the mothering cake, was often brought along to provide a festive touch. As Christianity spread throughout Europe the celebration changed to honour the "Mother Church" - the spiritual power that gave them life and protected them from harm. Over time the church festival blended with the Mothering Sunday celebration . People began honouring their mothers as well as the church. In the United States Mother's Day was first suggested in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe (who wrote the words to the Battle hymn of the Republic) as a day dedicated to peace. Ms. Howe would hold organised Mother's Day meetings in Boston, every year. In 1907 Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother's Day. Ms. Jarvis persuaded her mother's church in Grafton, West Virginia to celebrate Mother's Day on the second anniversary of her mother's death, the 2nd Sunday of May. By the next year Mother's Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia. Ms. Jarvis and her supporters began to write to ministers, businessman, and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mother's Day. It was successful as by 1911 Mother's Day was celebrated in almost every state. President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother's Day as a national holiday that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May. While many countries of the world celebrate their own Mother's Day at different times throughout the year, there are some countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium which also celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May. Some Motherly Advice... Always wear clean underwear; you never know when you'll have an accident. Don't make that face or it'll freeze in that position. Be careful or you'll put your eye out. What if everyone jumped off a cliff Would you do it, too You have enough dirt behind those ears to grow potatoes! Close that door! Were you born in a barn If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. Don't put that in your mouth; you don't know where it's been!

LINE OF DUTY: SERIES 5 An organised crime group (OCG) hijacks a police convoy transporting seized drugs and kills three armed officers. The ambush draws the attention of AC-12, who investigate whether or not someone leaked information of the police convoy to the OCG which in turn leads them to Operation Pear Tree, a highly classified undercover operation which is itself set up to expose links between organised criminality and the police service. - With epic interrogation scenes, surprise betrayals, grisly murders, untold secrets, massive twists... well, it's just good to be back. [Radio Times] - It's absolutely a must watch. It really builds up incrementally. Blinding, I loved it. [BBC.com] - Season five has been a joyous ride and held the audience captive for the past six weeks. [Daily Express] Admission: US$2.00 ($5.00 the series) [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 6 MAY AT 6.30 P.M. LA BAYADERE - BALLET An iconic 19th-century Russian ballet, La Bayadere was originally performed in St Petersburg in 1877, and has remained in the Russian repertoire ever since. It remained unknown in the West until the Kirov Ballet toured with the Kingdom of the Shades scene in 1961. Natalia Makarova saw La Bayadere as a child in Leningrad, creating this version of Petipa's ballet in 1980, and it was first performed by The Royal Ballet in 1989 with the cast in this DVD which includes Altynai Asylmuratova, Darcey Bussell, Irek Mukhamedov and Anthony Dowell. - The dancing of the principal soloists is quite simply superb. [Musicweb International] - This is a ballet that truly has something for everyone: a sumptuously melodic score by Minkus, a plot as thumpingly dramatic as any old-time children's Saturday movie matinee or silent-screen film, with class and a redeeming whiff of ballet history. It also has exciting lead roles for four dancers. And the performers here are international stars.
