 We explain and wish a happy Mother's Day. There she is. She has brought you into this world and cared for you. She has raised you. And as you grow older, she keeps caring for you. This person has probably done more for you than anyone in the world. Your mother. That's why we celebrate Mother's Day. In most countries it's the second Sunday of May. In others it's on the first or the last one or any other days, like the 21st or the 8th of March on the International Women's Day. Whichever date, people all over the globe honor their mothers by presenting them cards, gifts and flowers. The holiday has its origins in the United States. In 1908 Anna Jarvis, a social activist, founded it to credit her mother who helped the victims of the Civil War. Later in 1914 it became a national holiday and spread all over the world. In many countries Mother's Day has been adopted to fit similar established holidays. Over time the holiday has become highly commercialized by florists and the gift industry. Upset, Anna Jarvis fought against it. Making people buy run-of-the-mill presents wasn't her intention. But to honor their mothers by creating individual gifts with their own hands, let's follow this tradition. Give your beloved mother a visit or a call. Or invite her for dinner. Or simply show that you care for her. Happy Mother's Day.
