Mother’s Day history and significance
Anna Jarvis hosted a memorial for her mother at St Andrew’s Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia, on Mother’s Day in 1908. Anna began her effort to get Mother’s Day recognised as a national holiday in the United States in 1905, the year her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, died. She was a peace activist who helped injured soldiers on both sides of the Civil War and founded Mother’s Day Work Clubs to address public health concerns. Anna Jarvis wanted to continue the job that her mother had started. As a result, she decided to create a special day for moms all around the world. Over two decades later, in 1941, Woodrow Wilson declared the second Sunday in May a national holiday to honour mothers.
