The Origin of Mother's Day
The modern origin of Mother's Day can be traced back to the United States, initiated by Anna Jarvis. After her mother passed away in 1905, Anna deeply felt the pain of losing her mother and wished to establish a holiday to commemorate mothers who silently dedicated themselves. On May 10, 1908, Mother's Day was officially celebrated for the first time in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, USA. Thereafter, Anna continuously advocated, and finally in 1914, US President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation designating the second Sunday of May each year as Mother's Day, making it a national holiday. This tradition quickly spread around the world, becoming an international holiday to express respect and love for mothers.
