Mother's Day




❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Mother's Day is a celebration that honors mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in March, April, or May.

Celebrations of mothers and motherhood occur throughout the world. Many of these trace back to ancient festivals, like the Greek cult to Cybele, the Roman festival of Hilaria, or the Christian Mothering Sunday celebration.

However, the modern holiday is an American invention and not directly descended from these celebrations. The first suggestion for a day set aside to honor Mothers was made by Anna Jarvis, who celebrated it for the first time in 1908, then campaigned to make it an official holiday.


There is a custom of wearing a carnation on Mother's Day. A colored carnation means that the person's Mother is living. A white carnation indicates that a person's mom is dead.

A mother's love is great and could not replace by other emotion. Wish all the mothers happy and healthy all the time. Wish my mum beautiful and young forever!
