Mother's Day in Top X Posts (formerly Tweets) for Mother's Day -Updated
Mother's Day HistoryMother's Day is dedicated to honouring the bond between mothers, grandmothers, or any motherly figure, and their children. This day acknowledges the love, care, and sacrifices that women make for their families and society, as well as the essential role they play in nurturing for the wellbeing of their children. A special tribute to the maternal figures in people's lives, Mother's Day provides an opportunity for people to express their gratitude, shower them with gifts, and create precious memories. The origin of Mother's Day can be traced back to ancient cultures, who honoured motherhood as a sacred and vital aspect of society. However, it wasn't until the early 20th century that Mother's Day became a widespread annual tradition. In Australia, Mother's Day gained prominence in the 1920s thanks to the efforts of Janet Heyden, a Sydney woman who sought to provide support and gifts to lonely, forgotten mothers living in Newington State Hospital. Her charitable work and advocacy led the Mother's Day movement to be embraced across Australia - now, Australians continue this meaningful custom by cherishing the special maternal bonds in their lives. Mothers Day is not a public holiday, but is a widely-recognised event marked by an outpouring of appreciation and love. Australians celebrate Mother's Day by pampering their mothers with breakfast in bed, heartfelt messages, quality time, and meaningful gifts that symbolise the love they hold for their mother figures. Mother's Day is observed on the second Sunday of May every year. Mother's Day facts
