http://www.teacherplanet.com/resource/mothers.php

Mother's Day is a day that is celebrated around the world. Each country has a unique date for their holiday and sometimes a unique meaning. For example, in Norway it is celebrated on the second Sunday of February. In Mexico it is celebrated on May 10th. In the United States, Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May.

 

In most countries, while the origination of the holiday may differ, the common theme is to celebrate the contributions mothers make to the family and to the world.

 

Mother's Day is a day that many children truly look forward to. They enjoy showing their mother how much they mean to them.
