The modern Mother's Day holiday was created by Anna Jarvis as a day for each family to honor its mother. The first Mother's Day service was celebrated on 10 May 1908, in the same church where Ann Jarvis (Anna's mother) had taught Sunday School. Anna chose Sunday to be Mother's Day because she intended the day to be commemorated and treated as a Holy Day. Carnations have come to represent Mother's Day, since they were delivered at one of its first celebrations by its founder. This also started the custom of wearing a carnation on Mother's Day. Anna Jarvis delivered a single white carnation to every person, a symbol of the purity of a mother's love. She chose the carnation because it was the favourite flower of her mother. In part due to the shortage of white carnations, and in part due to the efforts to expand the sales of more types of flowers in Mother's Day, the florists promoted wearing a red carnation if your mother was living, and a white one if she was dead; this was tirelessly promoted until it made its way into the popular observations at churches.

Mother's Day is now celebrated on various days in many places around the world. It complements Father's Day, the celebration honoring fathers.

This holiday is relatively modern, being created at the start of the 20th century, and should not be confused with the early pagan and christian traditions honouring mothers, or with the 16th century celebration of Mothering Sunday, which is also known as Mother's Day in the UK.

Different countries celebrate Mother's Day on various days of the year because the day has a number of different origins.

One school of thought claims this day emerged from a custom of mother worship in ancient Greece, which kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of Greek gods. This festival was held around the Vernal Equinox around Asia Minor and eventually in Rome itself from the Ides of March (15 March) to 18 March.

The ancient Romans also had another holiday, Matronalia, that was dedicated to Juno, though mothers were usually given gifts on this day.

In addition to Mother's Day, International Women's Day is celebrated in many countries, most often on March 8.

In Australia, Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. Upcoming dates are May 10, 2009 and May 9, 2010.
