Mother’s Day 2021 in India: Mother’s Day is celebrated in India on the second Sunday of May every year, and this year the celebration will fall on May 9, 2021.

They say a mother is one who can take the place of all others, but nobody can take her place, and we all know this could be an axiomatic truth.

From the day her child is born to the day she breathes her last, a mother only lives for her child. From feeding them their first morsel, hearing their first tantrum, guiding them through their first heart break and being the constant support and shoulder to cry on, the duty of a mother is endless and her job relentless.

There are no days off, no pay and absolutely no gratitude (we all know we can be difficult children), but a mother’s love can never be changed and for her, her fully grown adult offspring will still seem like a little baby.

And Mother’s Day is the celebration which honours such unbelievable selfless humans that take care of us and nurture us through our lives.

History.

Mother’s Day was first celebrated in the US, in 1908 when a woman named Anna Jarvis wished to commemorate Mother’s Day as a recognised holiday to honour her mother, Ann Reese Jarvis who was a peace activist and had passed away three years prior.

Anna had a memorial for her mother in St. Andrews Methodist Church in West Virginia – which is now the International Mother’s Day Shrine. Anna Jarvis wanted to honour her mother as she believed that a mother is “the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world”.
