This year in the United States Mother's Day is
Sunday, May 13, 2018
It's a celebration honoring mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds and the influence of mother's on society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, yet most commonly in March, April and May. In most countries, Mother's Day is a recent observance derived from the holiday as it has evolved in America. When it was adopted by other countries and cultures, it was given different meanings, associated to different events (religious, historical or legendary), and celebrated on a different date or dates. Some countries already had existing celebrations honoring motherhood that could be traced back to ancient festivals like the Greek cult to Cybele, the Roman festival to Hilaria, or the Christian Mothering Sunday celebration.
