Mother’s Day Knowledge Quiz

Mother’s Day is a global holiday for showing gratitude to mothers. Its modern origins trace back to the early 20th-century United States, where it was championed by Anna Jarvis and became an official holiday in 1914, set on the second Sunday of May. The core custom of modern Mother’s Day is giving carnations, complemented by heartfelt gestures like handmade gifts and family dinners. It carries on the cultural tradition of filial piety and, driven by commercialization, has evolved into a cross-cultural symbol of affection, now serving as a key occasion for both the East and West to express respect and love for mothers.
