Social media was abound with wishes on the occasion of Mother’s Day. The celebratory day honoring mothers around the world, is celebrated each year on the second Sunday of May. The celebration started in the early 20th century in the United States when the first service of worship honoring women was organized at a church in Grafton. The church is now called the International Mother’s Day Shrine.

Beginning from there, Mother’s Day has been celebrated each and every year. It is believed to be the day where motherhood, maternal bond and each and every mother should be venerated. Due to the significance of the day and the bond towards mothers that each and every person has, this is a day that sees a plethora of wishes being conveyed not only in real life but also on social media.
