Early Christians observed Mothering Sunday in Europe, a day to visit one’s “mother church.”

Modern Mother’s Day:

Anna Jarvis (USA) pioneered the modern Mother’s Day in 1908 to honor her late mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, a peace activist.
By 1914, it became an official U.S. holiday.
Julia Ward Howe, another key figure, advocated for a “Mother’s Day for Peace” post-Civil War.
Global Adoption:
Countries like the UK, Australia, and India celebrate on the second Sunday of May.
Others, like France (last Sunday of May) and Thailand (August 12, Queen Sirikit’s birthday), have unique dates.
