Mother’s Day is usually celebrated on the second Sunday of May in many countries.

In the past, people also had activities to honor motherhood but not officially. It was not until 1908 that American citizen Anna Jarvis turned Mother’s Day into an official holiday.

The reason is that her mother always wanted an official day to honor her mother. So after her mother’s death, Anna Jarvis fought to establish this holiday.

There is no specific activity on this holiday, it depends on each person. You can give your mother a gift, have a meal with her and her relatives, or go on a trip.

Simply say to your mother “I love you” or “Thank you”. I believe that just letting your mother feel your love is enough to make her happy.
