Mother’s Day 2020 in India Date: The importance of mothers needs no retelling. Our lives are stitched with their presence, both visible and invisible. In an attempt to honour and celebrate them, every year a day is dedicated just for them. Celebrated as Mother’s Day, it is observed on the second Sunday of May every year. This year it will be observed on May 10.
Roots of the origin of the day lies in the time a woman called Anna Jarvis had held a memorial for her mother when she passed away in 1905. She did that at St Andrew’s Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia, the same place where the International Day shrine is held. It was also her who had started a campaign to recognise Mother’s Day as a holiday in the United States.
