Mother’s Day 2026 was celebrated globally on May 10, which fell on the second Sunday of May. The occasion honours the unconditional love, sacrifices, care, and support provided by mothers and maternal figures. People celebrate the day through family gatherings, heartfelt wishes, gifts, flowers, and expressions of gratitude. The modern celebration of Mother’s Day began in the early 20th century due to the efforts of American social activist Anna Jarvis, who organised the first official observance in 1908 in memory of her mother. Today, Mother’s Day is recognised worldwide as one of the most meaningful family-oriented celebrations.
