MOTHER’S DAY:

MOTHER’S DAY:

Mother's Day is a celebration honoring 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 spring (e.g., April–May in the northern hemisphere, October in Argentina, but northern hemisphere spring, May, in Australia). It complements Fathers day, a similar celebration honoring fathers.

The celebration of Mother's Day began in the United States in the early 20th century; it is not related to the many celebrations of mothers and motherhood that have occurred throughout the world over thousands of years, such as the Greek cult to Cubele, the Roman festival of hilaria, or the Christian Mothering Sunday celebration (originally a celebration of the mother church, not motherhood). Despite this, in some countries Mother's Day has become synonymous with these older traditions.

India is celebrating Mother’s day along with Australia, Canada, China, Vietnam, Italy, Japan, Germany and many other countries in SECOND SUNDAY of MAY.


In 2015 Mother’s Day is on 10^th May.
