Background to International Mother’s Day Celebration
The day to honour our actual mothers was started in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother at a church in West Virginia, USA. She celebrated this day to honour her mother since 1905 and later on she decided to make it a holiday to honour all mothers of the world. Because they have done more for you than anyone else in the world.
It is thanks to Anna’s hard work that US Congress accepted Mother’s Day as a national holiday. So, all US states are observing it since 1911. She also made sure that it was defined as ‘Mother’s day’ and not Mothers’ Day because every person should honour their own mother first and foremost.
