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 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.
Indira Gandhi
Indira Gandhi was the only child of Kamala Kaul and Jawaharlal Nehru. She was an Indian politician and central figure of the Indian National Congress party and to date the only female Prime Minister of India. Her son, Rajiv, a professional airline pilot with little interest in politics before the death of his brother, became Prime Minister in 1984 amidst riots after her assassination.
Rani Laxmi Bai
Rani Lakshmi Bai was one of the leading warriors of India’s first struggle for independence. A symbol of bravery, patriotism, and honor. 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. On the unfortunate day of 17 June of 1858, this great warrior martyred her life for India’s freedom.

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.
