The true story of Mother's Day

In the United States, the first proposal to introduce Mother's Day came in the 19th century when the writer Julia Ward Howe organized a peace-related gathering of mothers in Boston. From there, in the early 20th century, in a small town in the state of West Virginia, the fight for the honor of Anna Jarvis' mothers began.

Accompanied by a group of friends, Anna started a movement to establish a day for all children to honor their mothers.

This struggle helped her emerge from a deep depression caused by the death of her mother, and in a short time the celebration spread across the country, leading to President Wilson proclaiming Mother's Day an official national holiday, observed on the second Sunday of each year becomes of the month of May.

AS time passes many countries started celebrating mother’s day. The main idea of Anna Javis was to strengthen family ties and respect for parents. A dream come true.
