Mother’s Day 2014 falls on May 11, second Sunday of May. For those of you are not aware, Mother’s Day is always 2nd Sunday of May while Father’s Day is third Sunday of June. It was Anna Jarvis who rallied for second Sunday of May to be a recognized holiday. It was a move to honor her mom who founded the Mothers’ Day Work Clubs (a club which brought local mothers together to promote cleanliness and sanitation in their community). Why Mother’s Day falls on second Sunday of May? Ann Jarvis chose this second Sunday of May because it is the anniversary of her Mother’s Day. The first celebration of Mother’s Day was held at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church, known now as International Mother’s Day Shrine.

Although most countries celebrate Mother’s Day on second Sunday of May, in some the date of Mother’s Day is different. For example in Indonesia, Mother’s Day is celebrated nationally 22nd of December. In Thailand, Mother’s Day is August 12 (birthday of Queen Sirikit). In Spain, Mother’s Day is first Sunday of Monday.

Whatever the date is, may it be on May or not, one thing’s for sure, Mother’s Day is a widely celebrated occasion. And here in the Philippines, Mother’s Day is a big occasion. In fact, it’s too commercialized and most (if not all) establishments have their own Mother’s Day Promo. Actually, I also have an upcoming Mother’s Day giveaway!
