International Mother’s Day is celebrated in most countries around the world on May 11, 2025, and is one of the most heartfelt and meaningful family holidays. It is dedicated to women who give life, care and support to their children, and falls on the second Sunday of May every year.
The holiday originated in the United States over a century ago. In 1914, it was officially established by President Woodrow Wilson and quickly gained recognition around the world. Today, it is celebrated in dozens of countries, from Canada to Japan, from Germany to Australia. People give flowers, write cards, and organise family dinners to express their gratitude to their mothers for everything they do.
In 2025, Mother’s Day will be celebrated on May 11, Sunday. However, the date of this holiday varies around the world. For example, in the United Kingdom, Mother’s Day, or “Mothering Sunday,” is celebrated in March. Regardless of the date, the spirit of Mother’s Day remains universal — it is a celebration of unconditional love and the irreplaceable role of mothers.
