Add1

Mother's Day, celebrated annually in the United States on the second Sunday in May, honors mothers, motherhood, and maternal bonds, recognizing their positive impact on families and society. Established by Anna Jarvis, the first official celebration took place on May 10, 1908, at St. Andrew's Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia. Traditions include gift-giving, attending church services often accompanied by carnation distribution, and family gatherings. In the U.S., Mother's Day complements other celebrations honoring family members like Father's Day, Siblings Day, and Grandparents Day.
