As we approach Mother’s Day this coming Sunday, May 12th, The San Antonio Observer extends a heartfelt Happy Mother’s Day to all moms celebrating in our vibrant community.
Mother’s Day is celebrated as a way to honor and appreciate mothers and mother figures for their invaluable role in our lives. The modern American version of Mother’s Day was created by Anna Jarvis in the early 20th century. Jarvis wanted to fulfill her own mother’s dream of having a day where all mothers would be recognized for their efforts and contributions to their families and society. The idea was to set aside a day to express gratitude and appreciation to mothers, acknowledging their sacrifices and hard work.
Celebrated on the second Sunday of May in the United States and in many other countries, Mother’s Day involves giving gifts, writing cards, and spending quality time with mothers to show love and appreciation. It has become a significant occasion, reflecting the deep emotional connection and respect for mothers. Over the years, it has also evolved to include mother figures, such as grandmothers, stepmothers, and mother-in-laws, expanding the celebration to honor all influential women who play nurturing roles in people’s lives.
