History of Mother’s Day
According to the History Channel and Encyclopaedia Britannica, the modern version of Mother’s Day began in the United States in the early 1900s. A woman started a campaign to create a special day to honour mothers after seeing the role women played in caring for families and communities.
The idea later spread to many countries around the world, including Kenya, where the celebration has become more popular over the years.
Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers. Your love, resilience, and sacrifices never go unnoticed.
