Mother's Day


Mother's Day
is celebrated to honor all mothers and express gratitude for the hardships they
bear in bringing up a child. Most countries including US, Australia, Canada and
India celebrate Mothers Day on the second Sunday of May. Mothers Day came into
being due to the efforts made by Ms Julia Ward Howe and Ms Anna Jarvis. The
Resolution for having a dedicated Mother's Day was signed by US President
Woodrow Wilson on May 8, 1914.  Though Mothers Day celebrations take place at different times around the world what is remarkably same are the feelings with which people celebrate Mothers Day. This is so because mothers are as caring in East as they are in the West. The difference between mothers from one part of the world to the other simply does not exist and so are the feelings of children. All over the world people love to celebrate Mothers Day with their mothers and shower love on them. 

Mother's Day History

Origin of Mother's Day goes back to the era of ancient Greek and Romans. But the roots of Mother's Day history can also be traced in UK where a Mothering Sunday was celebrated much before the festival saw the light of the day in US. However, the celebration of the festival as it is seen today is a recent phenomenon and not even a hundred years old. Thanks to the hard work of the pioneering women of their times, Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis that the day came into existence. Today the festival of Mothers day is celebrated across 46 countries (though on different dates) and is a hugely popular affair. Millions of people across the globe take the day as an opportunity to honor their mothers, thank them for their efforts in giving them life, raising them and being their constant support and well wisher.
