Tomorrow we are celebrating Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day was created by Anna Jarvis in 1908 and became official in the United States in 1914 to be celebrated on the second Sunday of May.
In the United Kingdom Mother’s Day or Mothering Day is a different date. It is a part of the Christian observance of Lent and falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent.
In other parts of the world Mother’s Day is celebrated on different dates. On whatever date or time, it is celebrated, there is a universal understanding that mothers should be honoured. Some people say that everyday should be Mother’s Day for the job of mothering is one that is selfless. There is no time off, it is often unrewarded, and there are endless silent battles that some women never tell.
