• Mother's Day ranks as the third most popular holiday in the world, after Christmas and Easter
• The special flower for the day is the carnation
• Mother's Days are celebrated around the world with different countries celebrating on different days due to the number of different origins for the day. Some of these celebrations date well back, while others, including the US celebration on which the Australian Day is based, are much more recent.
• In Australia, much of Asia, Europe and the Americas, Mother's Day is celebrated on the same day as in the USA.
• We take this day to honour mothers everywhere, and to bring families together.
  
  Happy Mother's Day!
