It is celebrated in the United States, England, India and some other countries. In a short time, it becomes widely celebrated. Mothers Day falls on the second Sunday in May. On that day many people send gifts of love to their mothers. Those whose mothers are still living often wear a pink or red rose or carnation（康乃馨）, while those whose mothers are dead wear a white one.The idea of a day for mothers was first given by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia. As a result of her hard work, the celebration of the first American Mothers Day was held in Philadelphia on May 10, 1908. Soon the holiday became popular all over the country and around the world.In China, people do the same on the day for mothers. And, in some cities, people sometimes ask a song to be broadcasted for his or her mother only.
