Mother's day is over 100 years old and has a somewhat dark story, originally founded by Anna Yavis to honor the mourning women, to remember the fallen soldiers and to work for peace.
For Jarvis, it was one day when you're going home to spend time with your mother and thank her for all you do, historian Katharina Antolin of West Virginia Wesley College told National Geographic in 2014. “It wasn't to celebrate for all mothers, it was to celebrate the best mother you ever know, your mother, as a son or a daughter. “
These pictures show ways in which various mothers worldwide have supported their own children, their neighbors, and even foreign ones.
