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.
Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother in 1908, and she continued to advocate for the recognition of Mother's Day as a national holiday. Her efforts gained momentum. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation. He designated the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day. This made it an official national holiday.
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.

The date of Mother's Day varies depending on the country and its traditions. In many countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and most European countries, Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May. In 2024, it will be held on May 12th.
