Mother's Day is celebrated every year on the second Sunday of May worldwide. This year, in 2024, Mother's Day will be observed on May 12, 2024, which falls on a Sunday. On this day, we express our gratitude for a mother's sacrifices, selflessness, contributions, and love.
Honoring Mothers: A Special Day
This day holds immense significance for every child as it provides an opportunity to make their mother feel special. The debt to a mother is immeasurable, yet the word "mother" resides in the heart of every child. Let's delve into the history of this significant day.
Mother's Day - Origins
The credit for initiating Mother's Day goes to Anna Maria Jarvis, an American from West Virginia. Anna's mother was a schoolteacher named Anna.
One day, while teaching at school, Anna Jarvis shared her vision of dedicating a day to mothers. After her mother's passing, Anna, along with her friends, launched a campaign advocating for Mother's Day to be recognized as a national holiday.
Anna's motive was to ensure that children honor and appreciate their mothers' contributions as long as they are alive. The first Mother's Day was celebrated on May 8, 1914, in the United States. Since then, it has been celebrated on the second Sunday of May, a tradition followed not only in the United States but also in countries like India, New Zealand, Canada, and many others.
However, some countries observe Mother's Day in March. Let's take a moment to celebrate this dedicated day with our mothers on May 12, 2024, Sunday.
Expressing Gratitude
Mother's Day provides us with an opportunity to express our gratitude to the woman who plays an irreplaceable role in our lives. Whether it's her unconditional love, sacrifices, or unwavering support, a mother's presence is incomparable. Mother's Day is not just a day to celebrate but also a day to reflect on the invaluable contributions of mothers worldwide. Let's cherish this special bond and make Mother's Day memorable for our mothers.
