origin of mother's day in the u.s
Mother's Day The modern Mother's day began in the United States, at the initiative of Ann Reeves Jarvis in the early 20th century. This is not (directly) related to the many traditional celebrations of mothers and motherhood that have existed throughout the world over thousands of years, such as the Greek cult to Cybele, the Roman festival of Hilaria, or the Christian Mothering Sunday celebration (originally a commemoration of Mother Church, not motherhood).[1][2][3][4] However, in some countries, Mother's Day is still synonymous with these older traditions.[5]
Mother's Day The modern Mother's Day has been assimilated into Indian culture,[69] and it is celebrated every year on the second Sunday of May.[70] Indians do not celebrate the occasion as a religious event, and it is celebrated primarily in urban centers.
