@FrankietheFly sorry I didn't read the question properly!! It started in the UK and Ireland. Then Anna jarvis from the usa celebrated a memorial day for her mother in 1908. Her mother died on may 9th so she started a mothers memorial day after. Other countries adopted the usa date as they thought it was lovely. So the UK and Ireland remain with their original date that started from the 1600s. A religious sunday event to meet mothers at church in march.

@FrankietheFly because in the usa they might end have known about the UK and irelands religious one. And she felt it would be wonderful to do this other special day to celebrate all mothers in a non religious way. I think. She seemed pretty cool.
