The History of Mother’s Day.

Mother's Day originates from ancient celebrations honoring mothers. However, the modern Mother's Day as we know it today originated in the early 20th century. Anna Jarvis is credited with establishing Mother's Day in the United States. She campaigned for it after her mother died in 1905.

From the United States, the celebration of Mother's Day spread to other countries around the world, each adopting their own customs and traditions to honor mothers and motherhood. Today, Mother's Day is celebrated in various forms and on different dates across the globe, but it generally retains its essence of expressing gratitude and appreciation for maternal figures.
