Mother’s Day is celebrated in India every year on the second Sunday of May. The day is celebrated to honor the existence of mothers and their importance in people’s lives. Mothers have different roles in our lives, from being a caregiver to a protector, from a friend to a mentor. This day is celebrated in more than 50 countries around the world.
The celebration of motherhood has long been a part of human history, but it wasn’t until 1908 that America instituted a day entirely dedicated to mothers. After her mother’s death in 1905, an American woman named Anna Jarvis wanted to set aside a day to honor the work and sacrifices made by mothers. As a result, they held the first formal Mother’s Day celebrations in May 1908 in Grafton, West Virginia.
Soon after, it turned into a full-fledged movement, with Anna and her friends writing letters to prominent figures in America demanding that the day be declared a national holiday. By 1911, it had spread to every state of the country.
Finally, in 1914, the then US President Woodrow Wilson declared the second Sunday of May to be celebrated as Mother’s Day. The celebration quickly spread beyond national borders and into other countries. However, the days are different in different countries.
Mother’s Day will be celebrated in India on May 8 this year. It is always celebrated in India on the second Sunday of May.
