Mothers Day is a holiday to honor（尊重） mothers.

People in different countries celebrate（慶祝） Mothers Day on different days，usually on the second Sunday in May.

The celebration（慶祝） of Mothers Day began in the United States. Anna Jarvis founded（創(chuàng)立） this day to fulfill（實(shí)現(xiàn)） her mothers dream. In 1914，Mothers Day became a national holiday（國(guó)定假日） in America.

Carnations are a very popular Mothers Day gift. In 1908，Anna Jarvis gave 500 carnations to her mum at the first celebration of the Mothers Day，because carnation was the favorite flower of her mother.

Mothers Day is becoming more and more popular in China. In recent years（近些年），some people replace（代替） the gift of carnations with daylilies（萱草花） because in ancient times（在古代），Chinese mothers would plant daylilies when their children left home.
