Celebrate Mother’s Day on the Second Sunday of May

Mother’s Day: A Day to Honor Mothers Everywhere

Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May every year. It is a special day to show appreciation and gratitude towards mothers for their unwavering love, sacrifices, and support throughout our lives. This day is dedicated to celebrating and honoring the women who have played a significant role in our lives as mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, and mother figures.

This widely celebrated holiday has a rich history dating back to ancient Greek and Roman times. The Greeks celebrated the mother goddess Rhea, while the Romans dedicated the day to the mother of all gods, Cybele. However, the modern Mother’s Day holiday originated in the early 20th century by a woman named Anna Jarvis, who wanted to honor her mother’s dedication to peace and her wish to reunite families after the Civil War.

Mother’s Day is now celebrated in over 40 countries worldwide, although the dates may vary. In the United States, this special day is celebrated with great fervor and is commonly associated with sending cards, gifts, and flowers to show appreciation for mothers.

The flower traditionally associated with Mother’s Day is the carnation, which was chosen by Anna Jarvis as a symbol to honor her mother. A pink or red carnation is worn to honor a living mother, while a white carnation is worn to honor a deceased mother.
