Mother's Day is a special occasion devoted to honoring and celebrating mothers and mother figures. It is celebrated in various countries around the world, although the date of observance can differ from one country to another. In many places, including the United States and Canada, Mother's Day is typically commemorated on the second Sunday in May. Mother's Day is a time for expressing love, gratitude, and appreciation to mothers and those who fulfill maternal roles in our lives. It is an opportunity to recognize the sacrifices and love provided by mothers. The modern celebration of Mother's Day in the United States traces its origins to the early 20th century when Anna Jarvis, an American activist, advocated for a day dedicated to honoring mothers. It was officially recognized as a holiday in 1914. Many people celebrate Mother's Day by giving gifts, cards, flowers, or other tokens of appreciation to their mothers. These gifts can vary widely, from handmade items to store-bought presents. Families often come together on Mother's Day to spend quality time with their mothers, which may include special meals, outings, or other activities tailored to the mother's preferences.
