Mother’s Day

Calendars of different countries: American Samoa, US Holidays
Calendar topics: Women’s Days
Mother’s Day is observed in the United States on the second Sunday in May annually. The first celebration of Mother’s Day was held at St Andrew’s Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia in 1908. It was a service, arranged at the initiative of Anna Jarvis in memory of her mother, Ann Jarvis, who was known for her attempts to establish a holiday, commemorating mothers whose sons fought or died on opposite sides of the American Civil War. In 1868, she created a committee to establish a "Mother’s Friendship Day", in order "to reunite families that had been divided during the Civil War." Ann Jarvis died in 1905, but her daughter, Anna Jarvis, successfully continued her mother’s efforts. She launched a quest for Mother’s Day to be widely recognized and campaigned to establish it as a U.S. national holiday. West Virginia was the first state to declare Mother’s Day officially in 1910.The rest of the states followed quickly. On May 8, 1914, the U.S. Congress passed a law designating the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day. The next day, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation declaring the first national Mother’s Day as a day for American citizens to show the flag in honor of those mothers whose sons had died in war.
Today Mother’s Day has become a holiday, recognizing mothers, motherhood and maternal bonds in general. Traditions on Mother’s Day often include churchgoing and family dinners. Common Mother’s Day gifts are flowers, chocolate, candy, clothing, and jewelry. Many people send cards to their mothers. In the days and weeks before Mother’s Day, pupils at schools prepare handmade cards or small gifts for their mothers.
Many artists and poets sing a hymn to happiness and beauty of motherhood. We join them with our inspirational Mother’s Day ecards. You can use them to congratulate your dear mothers and mother figures on this wonderful holiday. You may also like our great illustrated Mother’s Day Quotes collection.
