Mother's Day tomorrow

Published May 11, 2013 Updated May 11, 2013 07:35am

imageISLAMABAD: Mother's Day will be celebrated on Sunday to honor mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society.

Mother's Day is annually celebrated on the second Sunday of May. It celebrates motherhood and it is a time to appreciate mothers and mother figures. Many people give gifts, cards, flowers, candy, a meal in a restaurant or other treats to their mother and mother figures, including grandmothers, great-grandmothers, stepmothers, and foster mothers.

Many people send cards or gifts to their mother or mother figure or make a special effort to visit her.

Common Mother's Day gifts are flowers, chocolate, candy, clothing, jewelry and treats. Some families organize an outing for all of their members or hold a special meal at home or in a restaurant.

In the days and weeks before Mother's Day, many schools help their pupils to prepare a handmade card or small gift for their mothers.

The origins of Mother's Day are attributed to different people. Many believe that two women, Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis were important in establishing the tradition of Mother's Day in the United States.

Mother's Day has become a day that focuses on generally recognizing mothers' and mother figures' roles. Mother's Day has also become an increasingly important event for businesses in recent years. This is particularly true of restaurants and businesses manufacturing and selling cards and gift items.
