\nThe story starts with Anna Jarvis, a social activist who suggested a celebration to honour Mothers for their sacrifices for their children. She was inspired by her Mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, who established \u201cMother\u2019s Day Work Clubs\u201d in the 1850s that taught women about sanitation and child care.<\/p>\n
\nThanks to her persistent efforts, Anna Jarvis received financial support from John Wanamaker in 1908. She then organized the first official Mother\u2019s Day celebration at a Methodist church in Grafton, West Virginia.<\/p>\n
\nIn May 1914, President Woodrow Wilson declared that Mothers should be honoured through Mother\u2019s Day celebrations. He designated the second Sunday in May as International Mother\u2019s Day, making it a national holiday in the United States. Since then, Mother\u2019s Day has become commercialized, with flowers, gifts, and greeting cards being sold specifically for this occasion.<\/p>\n
\nAfter Mother\u2019s Day became commercialized and capitalized for profit, Anna Jarvis lobbied the government to revoke Mother\u2019s Day status as a national holiday. Despite her efforts, she passed away in 1948 without succeeding in her mission to remove it from the United States\u2019 annual holiday.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
