About Mother's Day
The American holiday traces back to Anna Jarvis, who held a memorial service for her own mother at a church in Grafton, West Virginia, in 1908 and then campaigned for a national day. President Woodrow Wilson made the second Sunday in May official in 1914. Jarvis later spent years fighting the card and candy industry, which she felt had turned a day of personal gratitude into a sales event.
Most families mark it with a brunch, flowers, a handwritten card, or a phone call to someone far away. Restaurants report it as one of their busiest days of the year, so reservations are worth making early.
In the UK and Ireland, Mothering Sunday comes three weeks before Easter; the next one is Sunday, March 7, 2027.
Some countries use other dates altogether, such as May 10 in Mexico and March 21 across much of the Arab world.

How Many Days Until Mother's Day?
The days come first, then the hours, minutes, and seconds, all counting down to 12:00 AM on the second Sunday in May in your time zone. Kids making a card at school often ask how many days till Mother's Day to know how much glitter time they have left; the first tile settles it.
Teachers sometimes post a mothers day countdown on the classroom board in late April, so the cards, clay pots, and paper flowers get finished before the weekend. Florists and bakeries track the days until mothers day just as closely, since early May is when their order books fill up.
