Mother's Day is celebrated almost everywhere in the world, but in different dates, in Mexico, Guatemala and Salvador (maybe other countries too) we celebrate it on May 10th, in the USA is celebrated on the second sunday of may, and Argentina second sunday of october.

Why in Mexico is celebrated on may 10th, the answer is very simple, there is no romatic explanation, nothing really special happened that day, it was simply chosen by a newspaper, the most influencial newspaper by the time the "Excelsior, el diario de la vida nacional"

In 1922 this newspaper suggested in his edition that we (as mexicans) should used that day to celebrate all mothers, that iniciative was widely accepted and aproved by goverment, and people. The person behind this day was Rafael Alducín. In that edition he also publish an article about all the good things that women have as mothers.

Is nice to see that it wasn't created by some store or company like "Liverpool" or "El Palacio de Hierro" but by a journalist wanting to give the honor to the efforts of all mothers.
