The Origins of Mother's Day
The modern celebration of Mother's Day in the United States can be traced back to the early 20th century. Anna Jarvis organized the first official Mother's Day observance in 1908, aiming to honor her own mother and recognize the broader contributions of all mothers. By 1914, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the second Sunday in May as a national holiday dedicated to mothers. Over time, this day has evolved into a significant occasion for expressing love and gratitude, often through the giving of flowers.
