Mother's Day is a special significant holiday around the world which is celebrated by people of all ages. Some take their moms out for a fancy meal, some cook for them, spoil them for a gift or spend a special day. Whatever you do, it's a way to show them how you feel.
The history behind the special dayCelebrated on the second Sunday of every May, Mother's Day is held on different dates in different countries. There is a special history behind how the day came into being. It all started in the early 1900s when a social activist, Anna Jarvis floated the idea of a day to honour mothers, as a special remembrance of her own mother who had just passed away. She started a campaign and after much consideration, the holiday was officially earmarked in the year 1914.
Over the next few years, Jarvis pushed to have the holiday officially recognized, and it was celebrated increasingly in more and more spirit by people across America.
Soon the celebration spread to other countries as well.
Anna Jarvis put Mother’s Day on the calendar as a day dedicated to expressing love and gratitude to mothers, acknowledging the sacrifices women make for their children.
