Mother's Day Significance
The origin of Mother's Day dates back to the 19th century. Historical records show that Ann Reeves Jarvis of West Virginia initiated the 'Mothers' Day Work Clubs' to teach local women how to care for their children before the Civil War. After she died in 1908, her daughter Anna Jarvis held the first-ever Mother's Day celebration in Grafton, West Virginia, to honour her mother. Anna continued to make the celebration bigger for six years, until US President Woodrow Wilson declared it a national holiday in 1914.
Mother's Day is a special celebration of mothers' selfless love and care and the bonds they share with their children. It recognises their contributions to their families and society. Across the world, people celebrate it by giving cards, flowers, and gifts to honour their mothers or maternal figures. It's a time to appreciate the efforts that mothers put in and to spend some quality time with their children and families. This could involve a meaningful conversation, watching a movie, or doing things they always wanted. So, let's take some time from our busy routines to show our gratitude and love for our mothers. Happy Mother's Day!
