THE INTERNATIONAL MOTHER'S DAY
This special day is celebrated every year on the second Sunday of May. Mothers are selfless, shower unconditional love on their children, and sacrifice all their needs for their families. Starting from feeding us to teaching us manners, our mothers do it all.
It is never too late to show our gratitude to our mothers. We should always try to thank her for all her efforts.
Every year, Mother’s Day is celebrated to appreciate mothers, who play an immensely important role in one’s life.
Mothers are selfless, shower unconditional love on their children, and sacrifice all their needs for their families. Starting from feeding us to teaching us manners, our mothers do it all.
It is believed that the modern Mother’s Day celebration first began in the US, when a woman by the name of Anna Jarvis wanted the day to be celebrated because her own mother had expressed such a desire. When she passed, Jarvis took up the initiative and held a memorial for her mother in the year 1908, three years after her death. It was done at St Andrew’s Methodist Church in West Virginia. It is said that while she herself did not attend it, she sent a telegram to the attendees, highlighting the significance.
On this day, people express their love, respect, honour and gratitude for their mothers. So while this Mothers Day will also be spent amid lockdown, make it special for her in whichever way you can!
Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers!
