What Is Mother’s Day?
According to NationalToday.com:
Celebrations of Mom go back- way back- to the Greeks and Romans.
But in the US, Mother’s Day can be traced back to Julia Ward Howe, the editor of Woman’s Journal. In 1872, she wrote “Appeal to Womanhood throughout the World,” which would become known as the Mother’s Day Proclamation.
She also tried unsuccessfully to have July 4 and June 2 to be marked for Mother’s Day celebrations.
Over 30 years later, Anna Jarvis successfully initiated Mother’s Day after her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, died in 1905.
Jarvis noted that Mother’s Day should contain a “singular possessive,” (hence the apostrophe) so each family might honor its own mother — as opposed to all mothers. Jarvis, who neither married nor had children, organized the first official Mother’s Day celebration in May 1908.
By 1912 many states, towns, and churches had adopted Mother’s Day as an annual event. Jarvis also started the Mother’s Day International Association. President Wilson would soon establish the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day in 1914. Hallmark began selling Mother’s Day cards in the early 1920s.
And we started making Mother’s Day memes when Al Gore gave us the internet. Let’s get to the good stuff!
