Mother’s Day 2024

Mother’s Day is celebrated every year on the second Sunday of May. Although we must respect our mother throughout the year, Mother’s Day is marked to honor her influence on the family. Mother’s Day 2024 falls on Sunday, May 12th, and is a day to celebrate the incredible role that mothers play in the lives of their children and families.

A mother makes a lot of sacrifices in life to keep her children safe. Mother’s Day is a way to tell your mother how much she means to you. A woman plays many roles in her life starting from a doting daughter loved and pampered by her parents and a caring sister to her siblings.

Then later on from a career-oriented hardworking professional to a loving and devotional wife. But out of all a woman’s roles, one is the most divine, the selfless and lifelong role of a caring and loving Mother.

Mother’s Day 2024: History

Mother’s Day is a special day set aside to appreciate mothers across the world. Modern Mother’s Day began in the United States and was initiated by Anna Jarvis in the early 20th century after her mother died. She wanted to honor her mother by continuing to work on public health issues.

She believed a mother is “the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world”. Thus, after her efforts to declare Mother’s Day a holiday, the US declared the same by 1911. We salute all the mothers for their hard work and contribution throughout their life.

Mothers are often referred to as the backbone of the family. They are the ones who work tirelessly to make sure that their children are well taken care of, fed, clothed, and loved. Mothers are also the ones who offer emotional support and are always there to listen when their children need someone to talk to. The role of a mother is not an easy one, but it is one that is filled with immense joy and fulfillment.

We salute all the adoring Mothers of this world and on this Mother’s Day, we pay a small tribute to some of the great mothers, who were not only dedicated parents but also an inspiration to everyone.

Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa was a Roman Catholic nun who devoted her life to serving the poor around the world. She spent many years in Calcutta, India where she founded the Missionaries of Charity, a religious congregation devoted to helping those in great need. She was a loving, helpful, and caring mother to everyone.

She nursed for the sick, cared for the poor, and everyone was equal before her eyes just as every child is equal to a mother. Mother Teresa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and became a symbol of charitable, selfless work. In 2016, Mother Teresa was canonized by the Roman Catholic Church as Saint Teresa.

In March 1858, when the British attacked Jhansi, Rani Lakshmi Bai’s army decided to fight and the war continued for about two weeks. The army fought very bravely, even though Jhansi lost to the British forces. After a fierce war when the British army entered Jhansi, Rani Lakshmi Bai, tied her son Damodar Rao to her back, and fought bravely using two swords in both her hands. She escaped to the fortress of Kalpi under the cover of darkness and was accompanied by many other rebellions.

Every Single Day Should be Mother’s Day

In our fast-paced society, we have to designate special days to celebrate the contribution of the people who help build and maintain it. Among these, the celebration of Mother’s Day is a reminder of the important roles mothers play in the world. However, the fact of the matter is that the world would not exist without mothers.

The best example of this is ‘Mother Nature’. Even if there were no humans around, Mother Nature would be performing all her motherly duties for the survival and growth of various species of plants and animals. Every seed of a tree, every egg laid by a bird, every calf born to a blue whale, every cub of a lioness; all are examples of the roles played by mothers that make this world so beautiful and worth living in.

So, let this Mother’s Day be a reminder of the capability of mothers to create and nourish this world. Let us pledge to take care of our mothers as well as Mother Nature every day to make this world a better place.
