When is Mother's Day?
US Mother's Day is moveable: it is always the second Sunday of May, so the date changes each year.
Mother's Day honours mothers and mother figures with cards, flowers, and family gatherings.
Many other countries celebrate Mother’s Day on different dates, so the second-Sunday-of-May rule is specific to the US and several other nations.
The history of Mother’s Day
The modern US Mother’s Day was founded by Anna Jarvis, who held a memorial for her mother in 1908 and campaigned for a national day of recognition. President Woodrow Wilson made it official in 1914, fixing it on the second Sunday of May.
It is now one of the busiest days of the year for restaurants and florists, with the carnation a traditional symbol. Many other countries honour mothers on different dates, so the second-Sunday-of-May rule is not universal.
