Mother’s Day is a beautiful holiday to celebrate the number one lady in our life. It seems fitting that Mother’s Day comes along around the same time as the flowers come to bloom. The holiday is significant to so many of us, as more than just celebrating mothers, but also celebrating life and the women who have shaped us. Mothers have guided us, touched us, and given us the best of themselves. Mothers are resources more valuable than gold, and if we could, we’d celebrate Mother’s day every day.

What is Mother’s Day?
Mother’s day is the day of the year when we celebrate mothers and motherhood. Usually, it is observed by children honoring their mothers; however, it isn’t limited to only that. Husbands and partners may celebrate their wives or mothers to their children; maternal figures other than moms may also be celebrated. For some, mom is the woman who brought them into the world, while for others, mom is the woman who stepped in where their own mom couldn’t. Regardless of who mom is to you, Mother’s Day is the day to celebrate that person and the impact that mothers have made on the world around us.
The History of Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day can be traced back to the early celebrations of Spring in ancient Greece; to honor Rhea, the mother of the gods. However, in the United States, Mother’s Day was founded by Anna Reeves Jarvis to honor her deceased mother. Anna’s mother was responsible for organizing women’s groups in the community to promote health and friendship. Additionally, many women’s peace groups promoted the holiday as a means of favoring peace instead of war. It has since become a recognized holiday in the United States to honor the mothers we love.
When is Mother’s Day?
Mother’s Day, in the United States, is annually celebrated on the second Sunday of May. It is celebrated during a time when new life springs forth from the ground, much like how mothers bring new life into the world. This is also one reason why Mother’s Day is so closely associated with carnations.
