Mother's Day honors motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. Dates vary by country — most observe it on the second Sunday in May, others have their own dates rooted in local history.

History & origin

The modern American holiday was created by Anna Jarvis in 1908 in West Virginia. President Woodrow Wilson made it a federal observance in 1914. Many countries adopted the second-Sunday-of-May date; others (UK as Mothering Sunday during Lent, Mexico May 10, Thailand August 12 for the Queen's birthday) retain their own dates.

Traditions & customs

Cards, flowers (especially carnations — Anna Jarvis specified), gifts, family meals, brunches, breakfast-in-bed for mothers. Many restaurants offer special menus and are heavily booked.
