| When is Mothers Day 2011 |
The answer to your question for When is Mother’s day 2011? Is May 8th. If you are in the UK then on April 3rd you are going to be observing “Mothering Day”. Both holidays are similar and most likely were started the same way. Most people do not know about why Mother’s day was started.
Mother’s day actually stems from a custom of mother worship. This custom was from ancient Greece and kept a festival to Cybele which was supposedly a great mother of Greek gods. If you were to celebrate this festival it was held around the Vernal Equinox around Asia Minor and then finally in Rome from March 15 to March 18th. Now you know a little bit more about the background but we all remember this day to honor our Mothers.
