The first US Mother\u2019s Day was celebrated in 1908, when <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/4771354\/mothers-day-history-origins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Anna Jarvis<\/a>, held a memorial for her late mother. Anna campaigned to establish a special day that honoured all mothers and in 1914, it had gained so much traction that President Woodrow Wilson declared the second Sunday in May a national holiday. The tradition of pampering moms with cards, flowers and gifts took off from there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/spoil-your-mum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to spoil your travel-loving Mom on Mother&#8217;s Day<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2023\/05\/mothers-day8-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Happy Mother's Day balloons\" class=\"wp-image-872895\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/mothers-day8-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/mothers-day8-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/mothers-day8.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-serbia\">Serbia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A common Mother\u2019s Day tradition around the world is to let your mom have a sleep-in. But in Serbia, they take it a little more literally. Mother\u2019s Day is part of a three-day celebration of family in December, including Father\u2019s Day and Children\u2019s Day. On Mother\u2019s Day, it&#8217;s tradition for children to sneak into their mom\u2019s bedroom in the morning and tie her feet together with ribbon or cloth so she can\u2019t get up. To be set free, mom has to give treats or gifts to her children! The same thing happens to the dads on Father\u2019s Day. Then on Children\u2019s Day, it\u2019s the kid&#8217;s turn to have their feet tied until they promise to be on their best behaviour.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RELATED CONTENT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/ultimate-way-to-say-thank-you-mom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Why a special trip is the ultimate way to say thank you to your Mom this Mother&#8217;s Day<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ethiopia\"><strong>Ethiopia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Antrosht is a three-day celebration honoring motherhood in Ethiopia.

It\u2019s tradition for children to bring ingredients to their homes to prepare a big feast. While daughters bring cheese, vegetables and spices, sons usually bring different meats.
