A day to celebrate moms was pioneered by the ancient Romans and Greeks. In many countries, it has been modernized.
When Anna M. Jarvis was 41 years old, her mother passed away. On the second anniversary of her Mom’s death – the second May Sunday in the year 1908 – Jarvis communicated her plans to establish a Mother’s Day in recognition of moms.
President Woodrow Wilson made it official in 1914 when he signed a proclamation as the second Sunday of May is a day for “public expression of our love and reverence for the mothers of our country.”
