Mother's Day 2025: While the world is preparing to celebrate Mother's Day on May 11th, millions will honor the unconditional love, victims and unshakable strengths of mothers and motherly figures.

History of the Mother's Day

Modern compliance with the Mother's Day leads back to the United States in the early 20th century. Anna Jarvis was responsible in 1908, who held a monument to her mother in Grafton, West Virginia. Jarvis tried to establish a day to honor the victims that bring mothers for their children. Her efforts led to a widespread recognition, and in 1914 US President Woodrow Wilson officially declared the second Sunday in May on Mother's Day.

The ancient Greeks and Romans organized festivals in honor of the mother goddesses, while early Christians in Europe celebrated the “Mother's Sunday” – a day when people returned to their mother church for a special service.
