Mothers Day 2026 in Vanuatu is observed on Sunday, 10 May 2026.
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.
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.
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.
Special meals planned by family. Brunches popular in the US, Canada, Australia.
