Celebrate Mother’s Day on the Second Sunday of May with a Delightful Brunch or Dinner by the Sea
When Do We Celebrate Mother’s Day?
Mother’s Day is celebrated worldwide on the second Sunday of May. This tradition originated in the United States, where the holiday was established in 1908 by Anna Jarvis in memory of her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis. Ann Reeves Jarvis was a peace activist who advocated for the well-being of mothers and children. After her death in 1905, Anna continued her mother’s work and organized the first official Mother’s Day celebration in Grafton, West Virginia, in 1908. The idea of honoring mothers quickly spread across the United States and eventually to other countries, including the Netherlands and Bonaire.
