Mother's Day is a celebration honoring mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in March or May. It complements Father's Day, a similar celebration honoring fathers.
The celebration of Mother's Day began in the United States in the early 20th century; it is not related to the many celebrations of mothers and motherhood that have occurred throughout the world over thousands of years, such as the Greek cult to Cybele, the Roman festival of Hilaria, or the Christian Mothering Sunday celebration. Despite this, in some countries Mother's Day has become synonymous with these older traditions.

The meaning, or purpose, is to acknowledge gratefulness to moms for the countless things they do for kids.

In truth,it has become a commercial windfall; who, in right mind, would knowingly diss Mom in any way

Every day is Mother's Day...   :)

I am 61 and my mother is 91. I am still her wee boy. I am perfect in her eyes. She is the most wonderful friend to me. Thats what Mothers Day is about. On this day tell her how much you love and need her.
