The Significance of Mother’s Day
The historical origins of Mother’s Day can be traced back to ancient Greek and Roman festivals that celebrated mother goddesses like Rhea and Cybele. In the United States, the day began to take shape as a recognized holiday in the early 20th century, with the first observance in 1908 and official recognition by Congress in 1914. Today, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May, which will fall on May 12, 2024 next year.
Changing Gift Trends
Traditionally, gifts on Mother’s Day include chocolates, flowers, engraved items, spa days, and self-care treatments. Self-care gifts like massages or spa experiences are particularly popular as they provide a way to thank mothers for their love and care. The card company Hallmark estimates that millions of families across the U.S. celebrate Mother’s Day each year, indicating the widespread significance of this day.
