Mothers' Day is a public holiday in Puerto Rico, observed on the second Sunday of May each year. The holiday is in honor of motherhood. People celebrate Mother's Day in different forms and on different days worldwide. The original celebration can track back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, while the modern Mother's Day celebrations started in the United States in the early 20th century.
Modern Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1907, when Anna Jarvis, the founder of Mother's Day in the United States, held a memorial for her mother. The holiday was observed in most states by 1909, then adopted by other countries.
