According to Wikipedia Mothers’ Day is a celebration honouring the mother of the family, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly March or May.

West Virginia activist Anna Jarvis is credited with creating the holiday that is celebrated today.

However, the idea of Mothers’ Day was first suggested by writer Julia Ward in 1872.
