Mother's Day is one of the most important and emotional celebrations in the world,
In many countries, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and several European countries, Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May.
This date became popular thanks to the persistent work of Ann Jarvis, an American activist who advocated for the establishment of a day dedicated to honoring mothers. In 1914, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson officially declared Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May.
However, in other parts of the world, such as Mexico and much of Latin America, Mother's Day is celebrated on May 10 , regardless of the day of the week it falls on. This date coincides with the day the Virgin Mary is venerated in the Catholic religion, giving it additional religious and cultural significance.
In the United Kingdom, Mother's Day is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent, which falls in March. This tradition has its roots in Christianity, specifically in Laetare Sunday, or Mothering Sunday, when Mother Church is honored. In other European countries, such as Spain, Italy, and Portugal, Mother's Day is celebrated on similar dates.
In Egypt, Mother's Day is celebrated on March 21st, coinciding with the spring equinox. This date dates back to the time of the pharaohs, when the goddess Isis, considered the mother of all pharaohs and the protector of women and children, was honored.
Regardless of the exact date, Mother's Day is a special occasion to express love, gratitude, and appreciation for the women who play the role of mother in our lives. Whether it's the second Sunday in May, May 10 , the fourth Sunday of Lent, or any other date, the important thing is to celebrate and honor our mothers and show them how much we love and appreciate them.
