Mother's Day

Mother’s Day is a special holiday in the United States and many other countries, celebrating mothers and the importance of motherhood. It’s a time to honor the love, care, and sacrifices that mothers make every day.

In the U.S., Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. Families often give flowers, cards, or gifts, and spend time together to show appreciation. The day complements other family holidays like Father’s Day and Grandparents’ Day.
The tradition of honoring mothers has deep roots. In 19th-century Britain, “Mothering Sunday” was celebrated during Lent as a day for people to return to their home churches—and to visit their mothers.

Today, Mother’s Day is a warm reminder to cherish and thank the women who raised and shaped us.
