Mother's Day is a special occasion dedicated to honoring mothers, grandmothers, and all maternal figures. In the United States, it's celebrated on the second Sunday of May, making it one of the most anticipated spring holidays.
The modern Mother's Day was established by Anna Jarvis in 1908 and became an official U.S. holiday in 1914. Today, it's one of the biggest consumer holidays, with millions of people showing their appreciation through flowers, cards, brunches, and thoughtful gifts.
