Trina de Moya wrote the Dominican version of Himno a la Madre, a popular Latin American hymn dedicated to mothers. To mark the first official Mother's Day, Himno a la Madre premiered in a choir performance at the Church and Convent of the Dominicans in Santo Domingo on 30 May 1926, with accompanying music composed by Father Manuel de Jesús González.
