Mother's Day is usually celebrated on the second Sunday in May, honoring motherhood and showing how much the work of mothers as our bringers and nurturers of life are appreciated.

Mothers Day has been observed in one form or another since ancient times when the Romans and Greeks held festivals to honour different mostly mythical godesses, mothers and women. Today it has become an international celebration in honour of mothers.

"The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The women existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new."
