When is Mother's Day in 2026 & Why is it Celebrated?
Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday of May every year. In 2026, it will be celebrated on May 10th in India, the United States, and many other countries.

Mother's Day isn't only for moms. It's a time to celebrate all the maternal figures in our lives-grandmothers, stepmothers, aunts, mentors, and anyone who has cared for you like a mother.

It started as a tribute to Ann Reeves Jarvis, a peace activist who helped wounded soldiers during the American Civil War. After she died in 1905, her daughter Anna Jarvis worked hard to create a day just for mothers. In 1914, US President Woodrow Wilson made the second Sunday of May the official Mother's Day.

Today, people in India and around the world celebrate Mother's Day with thoughtful gifts, family meals, desserts, and time together. It's a way to honor the women who shape our lives with strength and love.
