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.
