Observed annually on the second Sunday of May, Mother’s Day is dedicated to appreciating the invaluable role mothers play in raising, educating, and supporting their children throughout every stage of life.
The day serves as an opportunity for people to express gratitude and affection toward their mothers by spending quality time with them, presenting gifts, and acknowledging their endless sacrifices and contributions.
Motherhood is widely regarded as one of the purest and most selfless relationships in human life, symbolizing unconditional love, emotional strength, and unwavering support.
The tradition of celebrating Mother’s Day began in the early 20th century and is credited to American activist Anna Jarvis, who launched a campaign to honor her late mother’s dedication and social services.
As a result of her efforts, then-US President Woodrow Wilson officially declared the second Sunday of May as Mother’s Day in 1914.
Over the decades, the occasion gained international recognition and is now celebrated in many countries around the world as a symbol of respect and appreciation for mothers and motherhood.
Across Pakistan and globally, families are marking the occasion through heartfelt messages, family gatherings, and special tributes, recognizing mothers as the cornerstone of society and the foundation of strong families.
