Mother’s Day 2026

Mother’s Day 2026 will be celebrated on Sunday, May 10. The theme this year is “The Great Unburdening,” which emphasises reducing pressure on mothers and sharing household responsibilities. The day honours mothers’ unconditional love and sacrifices. Originally rooted in ancient traditions and formalised in the US by Anna Jarvis, it is widely observed in India through cards, gifts, and family time. Famous quotes by Gandhi, Lincoln, and others highlight its significance. The occasion also raises awareness about maternal health and women’s rights.
