Honoré de Balzac once said that, a mother's happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.

Mothers are the most cherished people in the world and our bonding with our mother is a universal symbol of unconditional love, affection and care.

And that is the reason why the world over, Mother’s Day is celebrated to pay a tribute to all the lovely mothers of the world. It is our way of expressing heartfelt gratitude towards our moms and to let them know that we are always there. We thank them for making us who we are.

Some believe that the origin of Mother’s Day goes back to ancient Greece, where a special festival was held in the honor of Cybele, a great mother of Greek gods. This festival was held around the Vernal Equinox around Asia Minor and eventually in Rome.

In some other countries, the Mother's Day began not as a celebration for individual mothers but rather marked a Christian ritual.

The United States celebrates Mother’s Day in May. This day was influenced by the British day and was imported by social activist Julia Ward Howe after the civil war.

The Mother’s Day Proclamation was written in 1870 as a call for peace and disarmament.

Ann Jarvis in the United Kingdom attempted to improve sanitation conditions and therefore assembled women through what she called Mothers’ Work Days. In parts of the United States it is customary to plant tomatoes outdoors after Mother's Day.
