Mother's Day 2025: A day full of love and gratitude

Are you ready to give the most important women in your life a huge dose of love? Mothers' Day 2025 is just around the corner and it's time to think about how you can make this special day unforgettable. But what is actually behind this holiday and how can you show your mom how much she means to you? Let's dive in together!

What is Mother's Day anyway?

Mother's Day is a day of honor for mothers and mother figures. On this day, we celebrate the unconditional love, care and endless support that mothers give us. Originally originated in the USA, this custom has spread worldwide and has become an integral part of our culture.

The origin: A tradition full of love

Did you know that Mother's Day has a long history? Its roots go back to ancient Greece, where goddesses like Rhea were honored. However, modern Mother's Day originated in the United States in 1908 when Anna Jarvis created it in honor of her late mother. Through her commitment and the support of women's associations, she succeeded in establishing Mother's Day in the USA. From there the tradition spread worldwide - and finally reached Germany.

Here, Mother's Day 1923 was introduced by the Association of German Flower Shop Owners and initially established as a day of appreciation for mothers. However, during the NS era he was politically exploited to propagate the ideal of the “German mother”. After the Second World War, Mother's Day once again developed into a loving family day on which we celebrate our mothers for their unconditional love - with flowers, small gestures or simply valuable time.

When is Mother's Day 2025?

Be sure to save this date: In 2025 we will celebrate Mother's Day on Sunday, May 11th. So, grab your calendar and mark this day in red! By the way, in 2026 this day will be celebrated on May 10th.

Did you know: Mother's Day in Germany isnot a public holiday. However, it is celebrated as an appreciation day for mothers and always falls on the second Sunday in May

Reminder: Of course, Mother's Day is a wonderful occasion to honor our moms or mother figures with loving gestures. But true appreciation shouldn’t be limited to just one day of the year. Mothers do so much every day - they are advisors, supporters and often the heart of the family. So why not say “thank you” more often? A little “I appreciate you” every now and then, a loving message or simply conscious time together - all of this shows that your love and care does not go unnoticed.

Why do we celebrate Mother's Day?

Mother's Day is more than just a day on the calendar. It is an opportunity to say thank you. Thank you for all the sleepless nights, the comforting hugs and the countless times your mom was there for you. It's about showing appreciation and celebrating the special connection between mothers and their children.
