Sunday morning, May 11, 2025: the smell of fresh pastries fills the house while families everywhere prepare special surprises. The Mother’s Day 2025 date follows the long tradition of the second Sunday in May. For planning ahead: in 2026 it falls on May 10, in 2027 on May 9, in 2028 on May 14, and in 2029 on May 13. This continuity allows families to prepare well in advance for this special day of appreciation.
The origin and spread of Mother’s Day
The history of Mother’s Day began in the United States. In 1908, Anna Marie Jarvis organized the first official Mother’s Day in Grafton, West Virginia, in honor of her late mother Ann Maria Reeves Jarvis, who had dedicated her life to women’s rights and peace work. The idea of officially recognizing the role of mothers quickly spread across America.
By 1923, the tradition reached Germany, supported strongly by the German Florists’ Association. In the post-war years, with a renewed emphasis on family values and gratitude for mothers’ sacrifices, Mother’s Day in Germany became an important cultural event. Today, it is celebrated in many countries around the world—from Scandinavia to Brazil, from Japan to Australia—although not always on the same date. What unites them all is the universal recognition of a mother’s invaluable role.
The modern meaning of Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day 2025 reflects the evolving role of mothers in society. From the traditional homemaker to the modern woman balancing family, career, and personal growth, motherhood has changed dramatically. Today, this special day is about celebrating the diversity of motherhood.
Beyond traditions, psychologists emphasize the deeper meaning: the day strengthens bonds between parents and children, creating space for gratitude and emotional connection. Studies show that open expressions of appreciation have lasting positive effects on family relationships.
Generations experience Mother’s Day differently: young mothers with small children often appreciate practical help and relaxation, while mothers of grown children value time together and shared conversations. Grandmothers experience the day with double joy—being celebrated as both mothers and grandmothers.
