            The modern Mother’s Day is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in March, April, or May as a day to honour mothers and motherhood.
            Historically, the celebration has its origin in ancient customs and traditions. The ancient Greeks kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of Greek gods. The ancient Romans also had another holiday, Matronalia, that was dedicated to Juno (an ancient Roman goddess), though mothers were usually given gifts on this day. In Europe there were several long standing traditions where a specific Sunday was set aside to honour motherhood and mothers.
            Today, the holiday has become very popular around the world. People take the day as an opportunity to pay tribute to their mothers and tank them for all their love and support. There is also a tradition of gifting flowers, cards and other gifts to mothers on the occasion.

The second Sunday in May is Mother’s Day. It is a public holiday in both Britain and America. On that day, children send Mother’s Day cards to their mothers. They give their mothers flowers or sweets as presents. Fathers and children do the cooking so that mothers can have a rest.
In the USA, Mother’s Day started in 1860s.. There was a small town called Pruntytown in the middle of the USA. People in the town fought against each other during a war. After the war, they hated each other. Mrs Ann Reeves Janis wanted the people to make friends with each other again. So she started “Mother’s Friendship Day”. On that day, she visited all the other mothers in the town and said, “Let us be friends with each other again”.
Her idea succeeded. The same thing happened in other parts of the country. After she died, her daughter carried on her idea. In 1908, “Mother’s Friendship Day” became “Mother’s Day”.
