Mother's Day serves as a reminder to express gratitude for the countless sacrifices mothers make, often behind the scenes, to ensure the well-being and happiness of their families.
Mother's Day is celebrated globally, providing us an opportunity to honour the mothers and motherly figures, and appreciate the sacrifices they make for the success of their families. Activist Anna Jarvis, inspired by her own mother's dedication to humanitarian work, founded Mother's Day in the US in 1908. In 1914, then US President Woodrow Wilson officially designated the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day, a day dedicated to expressing gratitude and appreciation for mothers everywhere. This year, Mother's Day will be observed on May 12.
Mother's Day holds immense significance as it provides an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the invaluable contributions of mothers to society.
Mothers play a pivotal role in shaping the lives of their children, instilling values, providing support, and nurturing growth. Their selfless love and unwavering devotion are the cornerstones of family life, fostering bonds that endure through generations.
