Wake up, it’s Mothers Day!
A brief history of Mother’s Day
The origins of Mother’s Day
The modern holiday was first celebrated in 1907 by Anna Jarvis in Grafton, West Virginia, honoring the mothers of the United States.
In 1908, Congress rejected a proposal to make Mother’s Day an official holiday, joking that they would also have to proclaim a “Mother-in-law’s Day”.
Due to the efforts of Anna Jarvis, by 1911 all U.S. states observed the holiday and it became a national holiday in 1914
By the 1920s, Hallmark Cards and other companies had started selling Mother Day cards and flowers, and Jarvis protested the commercialization of the holiday.
International:
Constance Adelaide Smith advocated for Mothering Sunday, an already-existing Christian ecclesiastical celebration in which the faithful visit the church in which they received the sacrament of baptism, as an equivalent celebration
Her efforts were successful in the British Isles and other parts of the English-speaking world.
So, give your mother, the mother of your kids or grandkids a hug! Some flowers wouldn’t hurt either…😉
