Mexico and the United States agree on this much: May is the right time to celebrate moms. But they usually disagree on which day to throw the party.
But why does Mexico celebrate it on a different date? According to the Mexican government, the origin of Día de las Madres in Mexico can be traced back to 1913, when the wife of a Methodist priest found a magazine where the celebration was discussed and decided to take up the idea.
According to officials, May was chosen in Mexico because it is the month of the Virgin Mary and because in the past the 10of every month was “payday” in Mexico, as opposed to every 15th, as it is today. The 10th was chosen so Mexican families would always have money to spend on the celebration. Mexico was also the first Latin American country to officially recognize Mother's Day as a federal holiday. The government built a sculpture in Mexico City on May 10, 1949, to celebrate all mothers.As in the U.S., Mother’s Day in Mexico is all about mom. It is a day when mothers get showered with gifts, and spend time with relatives.
Unlike in the U.S. however, Mother's Day in Mexico usually starts early in the morning, when families tend to host serenades for the matriarch themselves or even hire mariachi bands or trios if they can afford it. As in America, Mother's Day lunch or dinner at a restaurant is also common in Mexico. The festivity often includes traditional Mexican dishes such as tacos, mole, enchiladas, quesadillas, and barbacoa.
