About Mother's Day
The modern Mother's Day began in the United States in the early 1900s, when Anna Jarvis campaigned to honour her mother and all mothers. Her efforts led West Virginia to hold the first state observance in 1908, and President Wilson made it a national holiday in 1914.
Countries have set their own dates. Many mark it on the second Sunday of May, while the UK celebrates Mothering Sunday in March, three weeks before Easter, and others use local dates such as March 8 or May 10.
In 2026 it falls on a Sunday. This countdown runs to the first moment of May 10 in the time zone you choose, so the figure matches the calendar day on your wall.
