A MOTHER is a woman has raised a child, given birth to a child, and/or supplied the egg wich in union with a sperm grew into a child.
Mother can often apply to a woman other than the biological parent, especially if she fulfills the main social role in raising the child.
This is commonly either an adoptive mother or a stepmother (the biologically unrelated wife of a child's father).
Historically, the role of women was confined to some extent to being a mother and wife, with women being expected to dedicate most of their energy to these roles, and to spend most of their time taking care of the home.
In many cultures, women received significant help in performing these tasks from older female relatives, such as mothers in law or their own mothers.
Nearly all world religions define tasks or roles for mothers through either religious law or through the glorification of mothers who served in substantial religious events.
There are many examples of religious law relating to mothers and women.
Mother's Day is a celebration honoring mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society.
It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in spring (April–May in the northern hemisphere, October in Argentina, May, in Australia)
