MOTHER’S DAY 2022: HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE
The Mother’s Day celebration can be traced back to the early 20th century in US. It is believed that US celebrated the first Mother’s Day. In US, a woman name Anna Jarvis organized a memorial in the memory of her mother after she died in 1905. Three years after her mother’s death, Jarvis organized a memorial ceremony at St Andrew’s Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia to honour her mother and all mothers. Thus, the celebration of Mother’s Day began to recognize their efforts and value in our lives.
The Mother’s Day officially came into existence after former US President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation in 1914, declaring the second Sunday in the month of May as a national holiday.
