Mother’s Day: When did It begin and who started It?

⏱ 2 minute read
Mother's Day


Mother’s Day is celebrated every year on the second Sunday of May, which is why its date changes annually, although it always falls on a Sunday.

Today, events are being held across the country at both official and private levels to honor the greatness and sacrifices of mothers.


Mother’s Day is observed around the world as a tribute to mothers — a day to appreciate their unconditional love, endless sacrifices, and lifelong dedication to their children and families. It is also an opportunity for people to express gratitude, spend time with their mothers, and make them feel special through gifts and gestures of affection.


The tradition of celebrating Mother’s Day began in the early 20th century. It was founded by an American woman, Anna Jarvis, who launched a campaign to honor the services and memory of her mother. Due to her efforts, Woodrow Wilson officially declared the second Sunday of May as Mother’s Day in 1914.


Later, the celebration spread to many countries around the world and eventually became a global tradition. Today, millions of people celebrate the occasion every year by paying tribute to their mothers and acknowledging their invaluable role in society and family life.

In most countries Mother Day is given special priority and special school events, community programs, and media campaigns dedicated to highlighting the importance of mothers in society. Children often prepare handmade cards, flowers, and heartfelt messages to express their love, while families gather to celebrate the women who play a central role in nurturing future generations.
