Mother's Day is a special occasion celebrated annually to honor the love and affection of mothers towards their children. It is celebrated in the United States, Australia, and Brazil on the second Sunday of May. The holiday originated in the United States and was inspired by the work of Ann Jarvis, a woman who organized Mother's Day Work Clubs to improve health and sanitation conditions in her community. These clubs later became a model for the modern celebration of Mother's Day. Ann Jarvis' daughter, Anna Jarvis, continued her mother's work and campaigned for Mother's Day to become a national holiday. Today, Mother's Day is marked by giving cards, flowers, and gifts to mothers and mother figures, as well as by making phone calls and dining out. The most popular flower associated with Mother's Day is the carnation, symbolizing a mother's love. Whether celebrating in the United States, Australia, or Brazil, Mother's Day is a day to show appreciation for the love and sacrifices of mothers everywhere.
