Mother's Day is a day for celebrating and honouring mothers and the contributions they have made to society.

The modern version of Mother's Day was started in the United States by Anna Jarvis in 1908, when she held a memorial for her mother. She then began to campaign for a national holiday - Mother's Day. In 1914, Mother's Day became an official holiday in the US, with similar holidays being created in many other countries.

Mother's Day is named to honor and celebrate a singular concept of motherhood, emphasizing the role of mothers as a collective. The apostrophe before the "s" indicates that the day belongs to mothers, rather than suggesting it is a day for multiple mothers. While it acknowledges all mothers, the focus is on the idea of motherhood itself, making "Mother's Day" the more widely accepted term.
