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, which this year falls on May 5th. It was first celebrated in 1926, commemorated by distributing thousands of flowers to children to give to their mothers. But it wasn't until 1936 that 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 on the second Sunday of May, celebrated on different dates depending on where we are. Anna Jarvis, an American activist, was the proponent of this holiday. 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 still 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, Anna Jarvis was the driving force behind celebrating Mother's Day. Her purpose was to recognize her mother's efforts after her death in 1905. She organized meetings to share experiences about motherhood and campaigned to get the sacrifice of all mothers recognized and valued. Finally, in 1914, she managed to get Mother's Day officially recognized in the United States. This spread to other countries, such as Spain, where this special day began to be celebrated with the aim of teaching children to respect all women and mothers. In addition, this date is also associated with the Virgin Mary, although later this day was moved to December 8th.
