History Of This Day:

The origin of Mother's Day traced back to the early 20th century. In the year 1914, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson established the day as the second Sunday in May for Mother's Day, a precedent that was soon adopted by nations all over the world.

The beginning of honouring motherhood dates back even farther and has its roots in spring festivals of ancient Greek and Roman societies, where maternal goddesses were worshipped. These traditions continued within the conscience of nations and evolved, thus giving birth to an official appointment to honour mothers for their nurturing role and unparalleled dedication. This celebration became bigger in emotional clout as nations began to acknowledge the emotional and social significance of motherhood and therefore charged for its evolution into the cherished occasion that it is today.

Significance Of This Day:

Mother's Day is a very special occasion for everyone, that spreads the message of love and appreciation towards every mother. It gives a chance to recognise the influence a mother has on her child's life, imparting values, emotional strength, and guidance for the journey ahead. It is also the time to celebrate the virtue of resilience, even when it seems beyond human capability, along with the patience and ultimate selflessness that define motherhood in all walks of life.

Celebration Of Mother's Day Around The World:

The celebration of Mother's Day is not the same all around the world; each may differ from the other in accordance with the cultural tradition. In India, families come together and shower their mothers with gifts and heartfelt messages. In the U.K., children show their affection by sending cards and fresh flowers to their mothers. In Japan, the gifts for Mother's Day are carnations, symbolising love and gratitude. Nepal observes a special festival to celebrate mothers and motherhood, which is called Mata Tirtha Aunsi.
