Thanks, Orchi.
This day, to honor Anna Jarvis's mother, grew into a national observance until in 1911 when every state participated. Soon it was spreading internationally, and on May 9, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Mother's Day a national holiday to be held on the second Sunday of May.

Thanks, DM.
A lovely write Jerry.
In the UK, Mothers Day is 3 Sundays before Easter - so around March.
Thanks, Orchi.
