A BRIEF HISTORY OF MOTHER'S DAYLong before Mother’s Day became a cherished modern celebration, ancient cultures honoured motherhood with festivals like the Greek rites for Rhea and the Roman Hilaria.
The holiday as we know it began in the early 20th century, when American activist Anna Jarvis organized the first official Mother's Day in 1908 to commemorate her late mother. By 1914, it was declared a national holiday in the United States, and soon after, countries around the world embraced the tradition.
Today, it’s a heartfelt occasion to celebrate the love, care, and sacrifices of mothers everywhere.
