What is the story about?
A mother plays one of the most important and irreplaceable roles in a person’s life. She is the one who brings a child into the world and offers unconditional love, care, and guidance throughout their life.
The pain she bears, the sacrifices she makes, and the selfless love she gives can never be compared to anything else in this world. While mothers deserve appreciation every day, Mother's Day offers a special chance to celebrate and honour them.
The day is not only about motherhood but also about recognising the strength and resilience of women who manage many roles and responsibilities.
From running households to succeeding in their careers, these extra-ordinary women continue to inspire with their commitment and hard work.
Mother’s Day 2026: Date
In order to honour and celebrate the mothers, Mother’s Day is observed across the globe. In many countries, including India, Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday of May every year. This year, Mother's Day will be observed on Sunday, May 10. However, in the United Kingdom, Mother's Day will be celebrated on 15th March 2026 since Mother's Day in the UK is celebrated 3 weeks before Easter.
History
The roots of Mother's Day can be traced back to ancient civilisations like ancient Greece and ancient Rome, where people celebrated festivals dedicated to mother goddesses such as Rhea and Cybele.
In the 16th century, early Christians in England celebrated a day known as ‘Mothering Sunday’” On this day, people returned to their ‘mother church,’ the main church in their area, and families gathered together. Children would also give flowers or small gifts to their mothers as a gesture of love.
In modern history, the day originated in the United States. It was established by social activist Anna Jarvis, who sought to honour her mother. In 1908, Anna Jarvis organised the first official Mother's Day to honour her mother’s life of service, especially her work during the American Civil War. The tradition was later set as the second Sunday of May, the day her mother passed away.
Significance
Mother’s Day is dedicated to mothers who juggle multiple roles and responsibilities to ensure their children have everything they need, often without expecting anything in return. It is time to appreciate their unconditional love, countless sacrifices, and endless care.
The day also offers an opportunity to express gratitude to the women who shape our values, character, and emotional well-being. Beyond mothers, it is important to acknowledge mother figures such as grandmothers, aunts, and caregivers who play a vital role in nurturing and supporting their loved ones.
People celebrate Mother’s Day by giving gifts, flowers, heartfelt messages, or by spending quality time with their mothers.
