Though Mother’s Day was introduced to the United States in 1908, the celebration of motherhood has been around for millennia. The day celebrates the importance of motherhood and the influence of mothers across the world. In the U.S., we mark down the holiday as the second Sunday of every May — this year that’s May 10.
