Mother's Day initially started in ancient Greece as a tribute to the Gods-Rhea. Then, in the 17th century, Mothering Sunday was celebrated in England as tribute to all mothers on the 4th Sunday of Lent. The celebration was to be marked by a pastry called Mothering Cake. Then in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson declared Mother's Day as a national holiday. And up till now, the second Sunday of May has been set as a day for the celebration of mothers everywhere.
