Google is celebrating Mother’s Day on Sunday with an interactive doodle. It has a pop-up card that users can use to send wishes to their beloved mums.

The doodle, created by Olivia When, is a heartfelt dedication to all mothers for their unconditional love, support, and sacrifices.

Google has a tradition of making iconic doodles to mark significant and historic events and celebrations.

It is believed that the modern Mother’s Day celebrations first began in the US when a woman named Anna Jarvis wanted to memorialise the day after her mother had expressed this desire. The Day became an official holiday after former US President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation in 1914 declaring the second Sunday of May as Mother's Day.

People around the world take this opportunity to express love and gratitude towards their mothers.
