There are lots of different Mother's Day origin stories that have changed over time. What is now a day celebrated with cards and gifts, one way Mother's Day was originally said to have started was following the war, when social activists wanted to celebrate a peaceful day for the women left behind. Others state it comes from the Church, when townspeople would return to their homes, back to their Mother Church. However it started, the day is now a day to acknowledge those in motherhood, the maternal figures in your life and the importance their role plays in the society around us. At HelloFresh, we think the best way to show your love is through good food.
