A day to honor mothers has existed for as long as, well, there have been mothers. Festivals honoring mothers in ancient times were often tied to gods and goddesses and maternal symbols of fertility, birth, creativity, and cycles of growth. The mother is the protector and nourisher of children and, by extension, of all humanity. The Phrygians held a festival for Cybele, the Great Mother of the Gods. The Greeks and Romans also honored the mother figure of their gods. Even today, an important festival in India, Durga-puja, honors the goddess Durga.

The rapid housing market cool down and the rapid pace at which the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates took their toll on the title insurance industry in 2022. Last year, the industry generated $21 billion in title insurance premiums, down 16% from 2020, according to the American Land Title Association’s Market Share Analysis released Monday.

During the fourth quarter of the year, the title insurance industry generated $4.4 billion in title insurance premiums, down 38% year over year.

Compared to a year ago, the total operating income for the industry was down 37.1%, and operating expenses dropped 34.88% in the same time period. The industry paid $569.1 million in claims in 2022, up from the $474.4 million paid a year prior.
