World Mother’s Day is celebrated on 10th May. This day is mainly celebrated every year on the second Sunday in May. International Mother’s Day is an important and very popular occasion and this day observed all over the world as a day to appreciate and respect mothers and motherly relationship within the family. Mothers Day is worldwide celebration commemorating the respect, honour and love that people have for their moms. The day is dedicated to honouring mother’s contributions, as well as the efforts of maternal bounding and the position of mothers in our society.
The Mother’s Day celebration began in the year of 1908, when Anna Jarvis created a memorial to honour her mother, Ann Jarvis, a peace companiganger who used to care for wounded Civil War troops. Mothers Day was first made to celebrate a person’s own mother. Now it is made to celebrate all mothers and motherhood in general. It is celebrated at different times in different countries. Most of the US states began honouring Mother’s Day as a regional holiday by the year of 1911. In the United States of America, it is the second Sunday in May. Children can make cards and a lot of other things for their mothers. Although many countries commemorate the occasion on various dates, March or May are the most usual months for celebrations.
In 1908 after the mother died, Anna Jarvis made the first Mother’s Day celebration in Grafton, West Virginia. People also celebrated in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and many other cities. For six years, Anna Jarvis made the celebration bigger until President Woodrow Wilson made it a national holiday in 1914.
Festivals honouring mothers and mother goddesses date to ancient times. The Phrygians held a festival for Cybele, the great mother of gods, as did the Greeks for the goddess Rhea. Likewise, the romans adapted the practice to their own pantheon. Some countries have continued to observe ancient festivals, for example, Durga Puja, honouring the goddess Durga, remains an important festival in India.
