Mexican Mother's Day is celebrated every year on May 10th. This date does not change and is distinct from the Mother's Day celebration in the United States, which falls on the second Sunday of May. The tradition of celebrating Mother's Day in Mexico on May 10th began in 1922, initiated by journalist Rafael Alducin. On this day, it is customary for family members to wake the mother with the traditional song "Las MaƱanitas," and celebrations often include gifts, flowers, and family meals. The holiday is widely observed across Mexico and has also spread to other Latin American countries such as El Salvador and Guatemala.
