There is no question that our modern day Mother’s Day celebrations have evolved since the 1600s. No longer is it the norm to primarily associate Mother’s Day with Greek and Roman deities or the Virgin Mary. Instead we spend time and money ensuring that our own mothers are the centre of attention, changing our focus from a general celebration of maternity to honouring the one person who gave us life. This somewhat updated version of Mother’s Day was first popularized in the United States and can be attributed to a few different people.
