About the countdown to Mother's Day
Because Mother's Day is the second Sunday of May, its date ranges from May 8 to May 14.

The next Mother's Day falls in ISO week 18 of 2027. When the day arrives the page says so instead of showing a zero, and from the following day it moves its target to 2028, so the countdown never runs out of road.
