Mother's Day is a cherished occasion to honor and express heartfelt appreciation for the amazing mothers in our lives. This day provides a wonderful opportunity to shower the mother figures in our lives with love, gifts, and the recognition they so richly deserve. But how did Mother's Day come to be?
The Rich History of Mother's Day
The tradition of celebrating mothers stretches far back in time. Ancient Greeks and Romans honored mother goddesses like Rhea (wife of Cronus) and Cybele in their spring festivals. Early Christian celebrations like 'Mothering Sunday' in the United Kingdom involved honoring mothers and the Mother Church.
The modern American Mother's Day has its roots in the activism of Ann Reeves Jarvis, who established "Mother's Day Work Clubs" during the Civil War era. These clubs focused on improving sanitary conditions and lowering infant mortality. Her daughter, Anna Jarvis, spearheaded a relentless campaign in the early 20th century, advocating for a day to honor the sacrifices and unwavering love of mothers. Her efforts led President Woodrow Wilson to officially recognize the second Sunday of May as Mother's Day in 1914.
