Mother’s Day is the most widely observed U.S. day honoring mothers and maternal figures, observed on the second Sunday of May — a tradition formalized by Anna Jarvis, whose 1908 campaign to honor her own mother led to congressional recognition in 1914. National Shrimp Day celebrates the most consumed seafood in the United States, a crustacean farmed across Southeast Asia and the Gulf of Mexico. World Lupus Day was established to raise awareness for lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks healthy tissue — affecting an estimated 5 million people worldwide, 90 percent of whom are women. International Day of Argania was proclaimed by UNESCO in 2021 to honor the argan tree, whose nuts produce argan oil and whose ecosystem is unique to southwestern Morocco. A mother’s day, a shrimp, a butterfly rash, and a Moroccan tree.
