What day is Mother's Day and why is it celebrated?

What day is Mother's Day?

In Spain, Mother's Day is celebrated every year on the first Sunday of May, coinciding this year with May 5th. The first time it was celebrated was in 1926, commemorated by distributing thousands of flowers to children to give to their mothers. However, it was not until 1936 when it was officially established by the City Council of the Canary Islands on the third Sunday of May. Later, in 1965, it was established that it would be celebrated on the first Sunday of the month.

However, in most countries, Mother's Day is the second Sunday of May, celebrated on different dates depending on where you are. Ana Jarvis, an American activist, was the driving force behind this celebration. The celebration was officially recognized in 1914 in the United States, where citizens wore a red or white carnation depending on whether their mother was alive or not. Since then, the celebration of Mother's Day has spread to other countries.

Why is Mother's Day celebrated?

As mentioned earlier, Ana Jarvis was the driving force behind celebrating Mother's Day. Her purpose was to recognize the effort of her mother after her death in 1905. She organized gatherings to share experiences about motherhood and conducted campaigns to ensure that the sacrifice of all mothers was recognized and valued. Finally, in 1914, she succeeded in officially recognizing Mother's Day in the United States. This spread to other countries, such as Spain, where it began to be celebrated with the purpose of teaching children to respect all women and mothers. Additionally, this date is also associated with the Virgin Mary, although later this day was moved to December 8th.
