Introduction:

Mother’s Day is celebrated in honor of the mothers. It is celebrated every year in USA and in some other countries on 2nd Sunday of May.

Description:

Anna Jarvis, the founder of Mother’s Day suggested the idea of celebrating Mother’s Day in honor of mothers and motherhood in 1907. She succeeded in making this nationally recognized in 1914.

On this day people used to honor their mothers who have a great contribution in their lives and for whom they exist in this world. Everyone has their own way to celebrate Mother’s day. Some people give cards, gifts or flowers to their mothers, some prefer to dine out and some prefer to spend the whole day with their mothers. Mother's Day is the busiest day of the year for restaurants in the USA and according to Hallmark, each Mother’s Day around 162 million greeting cards are sent, making it the third largest card-sending holiday in the world. Whatever the way, the soul aim of this day is to thanks the mothers for everything they have done and make them feel very special.
