Dino & Rozan Ramparsad, owners of OS Flowers, and the rest of our team is wishing all our Hindu clients a happy Diwali this coming Friday, 9 November 2007.
Diwali, or Deepawali, is a major Indian festival, significant in Hinduism and Jainism and Sikhism. Celebrated across the globe, as the “Festival of Lights,” where the lights or lamps signify the uplighting of darkness and victory of good over the evil within.
South Africa is located at the southern tip of the continent of Africa. The South African culture is a mix of variety of cultures. It had the largest immigrant Indian community in the world a decade prior to the colonization by the United States of America. The immigrant Indians account of almost one million in the country. But most of them are concentrated in the eastern regions of Natal and Transvaal of the country.
About 65% are Hindus, 15% Muslims and 20% of Christians live in this area. Due to the majority of the Hindu population, a number of Hindu festivals are celebrated here. The Festival of Diwali holds an important place in the festival calendar of the region. The Diwali celebrations are more or less same to that of India. Most of the Hindus here are from Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu and continue to follow their regional variations of Hinduism.

The history of Father’s Day is very interesting. The thought for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. The idea of having the Father’s Day came to the mind of Sonora Smart while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909.
After the death of her mother, she along with her siblings was raised by her father, William Jackson Smart. Sonora wanted to tell her father how special he was. Sonora’s father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father’s Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.
The National Father’s Day Committee was formed in New York City in 1926. A Joint Resolution of Congress recognized the Father’s day in 1956 and in 1966 President Richard Nixon established a permanent national observance of Father’s Day to be held on the third Sunday of June. Thus, the Father’s Day was born in memory and appreciation by a daughter who believed that her father and all other fathers should be honored with a special day.
Flowers for Fathers Day
Perhaps we all carry a misconception throughout our lives whether men like to receive gifts of flowers? Who doesn’t like flowers? Men are not an exception to it. The beautiful flowers are the perfect way to express our love and appreciation for all those people who are important to us. This Father’s Day, we are getting the opportunity to remind our dad just how special he is for all of us. As we have said earlier, flowers have the charisma to catch the hearts and touch the soul of every individual. They will surely take their fragrance to our dad and make him feel extra special on this Father’s Day.
Be very cautious while choosing your Father’s Day flowers. Generally when it comes to selecting flowers for men we tend to go towards flowers with bold and distinctive characteristics. We think that compelling forms, striking colors, dramatic lines, and strong textures are the symbols of masculine style design. But this is the time to express your love, care and support to dad. So present him only those flowers which make him feel really special.
Flower categories like Tropical blooms provide themselves quite well to floral designs and arrangements for the Father’s Day. Robust flowers such as the waxy, heart-shaped anthurium or the flamboyant bird- of-paradise make a powerful impact with their vibrant shades and uncommon shapes. You can also go for other tropical flowers like robust ginger blooms, angular heliconias (relatives of the bird-of-paradise), and various other species of exotic orchids. Subtropical flowers like proteas, gerberas, and leucadendrons are well-matched with the tropicals because of their bold presence.
As they come from warmer regions, tropical flowers are quite durable and well suited to household conditions. If adequate care is taken, fresh cut tropical flowers can last for two weeks or more and add more charm to the Father’s Day celebrations.
As it is his day, dad would love and appreciate a vegetative style Father’s Day flower arrangement. To give a vegetative design to Father’s day flower arrangements, flowers are arranged in vertical groups, the way they grow in their own natural way. A vegetative Father’s Day floral arrangement takes on a truly robust and masculine quality.

History of Mothers Days
The earliest Mother’s Day celebrations can be traced back to the spring celebrations of ancient Greece in honor 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” honored 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 honor 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 honoring 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 organized Mother’s Day meetings in Boston, Mass ever 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
