Shillong, May 12: Exceptional educators who shape our future with their knowledge, expertise and unwavering support, our first nurturers, guides, and champion. Mothers are no ordinary human being, they truly hold a unique place in our lives, they are Gods on Earth. It’s a day dedicated to acknowledge their love, strength, and commitment, and express sincere gratitude for all they do.

The tradition of honoring mothers has its roots in ancient Greek and Roman societies, where special events were held to pay tribute to motherly deities such as Rhea and Cybele. These festivities included feasting, making offerings, and conducting ceremonies to celebrate motherhood and fertility.

The modern concept of Mother’s Day, is largely credited to Anna Jarvis, an American activist who campaigned for a dedicated day to honor mothers. After her mother’s passing in 1905, Jarvis advocated for a national holiday to recognize mothers and their contributions to society. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson officially designated the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.

Let us celebrate and honor the extraordinary women who enrich our lives with their warmth, compassion, and endless devotion.

Mother’s Day is widely celebrated around the world, with each country adopting its own customs and traditions to honour mothers.
