Mother's Day Dates Around the World

Mother's Day is a celebration of the important and significant role mothers have in our lives, and it is widely celebrated in many countries around the world. While the day may be celebrated on different days in different countries, the sentiment is the same – to recognize and appreciate the immense and selfless love and care those mothers give their children, by gifting them with jewellery and cards.

The reason the dates are different in the USA is due to the fact that Mother's Day is a secular holiday, and not based on any religious calendars. It was officially established in the United States in 1908, when President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the second Sunday in May to be the official date for Mother's Day. Since then, the date has remained the same in the United States.

In other countries, the date for Mother's Day can vary. In some countries, it is the same date as the United States, while in others it is based on a different calendar or tradition. For example, in Mexico, Mother's Day is celebrated on May 10th, the day that the Virgin Mary is celebrated.

Mother’s Day in the UK is celebrated on the 19^th of March, emerging from a tradition that it was a holiday when servants could return home and unite with their family. They used this day to express their love and appreciation to their mothers by honouring them with a gift. This evolved into the modern holiday where people gift their mothers and use the day to show their thanks.
