In 1876, the whole America was in sad about the death of the Civil War. At that time, Anna Jarvis was a teacher who gave lecture of the Civil War. When she prayed, she said: I wish we can set a mother's day somewhere in the future, in order to memorize and praise all the mothers around the world.
Anna Jarvis died when she was 72 years old and her daughter Anna determined to found a mother’s day for her.
At the beginning, Anna wrote lots of letters to some famous people. She asked them to support her idea about the mother’s day, but no one backed up her.
Fortunately, on May 12th 1907, a church agreed to hold a meeting for the mothers. Out of anticipation, the meeting held successfully in Philadelphia. Some chiefs supported Anna’s idea and set Mother’s Day in their states.
Until 1914, Wilson, the president of America decided to make Mother’s Day a common holiday in America. From then on, more and more countries set Mother’s Day in their own country. The Mother’s Day became an international festival eventually.
The dates of Mother’s Day are different around the world, But most of the countries make the second Sunday in May Mother’s Day. The traditional gift for mothers is carnation.
Mother’s Day is coming soon. Have you prepare a surprise for your mother?
