Hi Shashi and all,
This site has several links regarding Mother's Day:
http://deil.lang.uiuc.edu/web.pages/Holidays/Mother.html
In the U.S. and Canada (or so my calendar at work indicates) it is the
second Sunday in May (so not always "May 13th") that is celebrated
as "Mother's Day". The link "A more detailed history" talks about
the holiday in several other countries.
Enjoy,
Joyce
