Mother’s Day History

Mother’s Day has a rich and fascinating history that dates back over a century. The modern holiday is said to have originated in the United States in the early 20th century, when a woman named Anna Jarvis began campaigning for an official day to honour mothers. Jarvis was inspired by her own mother, who had been a community activist and advocate for social justice. After her mother’s death in 1905, Jarvis organized a memorial service and began lobbying for a national holiday to honour all mothers.

In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation declaring the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day. The holiday quickly gained popularity around the world, with many countries adopting their own versions of the celebration. Today, Mother’s Day is celebrated in over 40 countries and is an occasion to show appreciation for the hard work, love, and devotion of mothers everywhere.

While the commercialization of Mother’s Day has been a subject of criticism in recent years, the holiday remains a cherished opportunity to recognize and honour the profound impact that mothers have on our lives. Whether through a simple card or a heartfelt gesture, Mother’s Day provides a chance to express gratitude for the countless ways that mothers make our world a better place.
