Mother’s Day is a holiday celebrated in many countries around the world. In the United States, it is observed on the second Sunday of May, and in Canada, it is observed on the second Sunday of June. In the UK, Mothering Sunday is observed on the fourth Sunday of Lent, though this does not have any official status.

What is Mother’s Day?

In most countries where Mother’s Day is celebrated, it takes place on the second Sunday of May. This date was chosen because it was thought to be a convenient time for family members to visit their mothers after church services.

When did Mother’s Day start?

Mother’s Day, as we know it today, began as a response to a holiday created by Anna Jarvis’ family called “Mother’s Work Days” which took place in 1907 and 1908. The purpose of this event was to encourage families to get together for at least one day per year and do volunteer work for charities or hospitals.
