During ancient times, the Greeks and Romans used to celebrate festivals honoring mother goddesses such as Rhea and Cybele. These celebrations were held in springtime and were dedicated to fertility as well as motherhood. In the United States, abolitionist and suffragette Julia Ward Howe wrote the “Mother’s Day Proclamation,” calling for women to unite for peace.
The modern Mother’s Day was championed by Anna Jarvis, an American social activist. She held campaigns to establish a national holiday to honor mothers after her own mother’s death in 1905. She wanted to create a day for individuals to express their love, and gratitude to their mothers.
President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation declaring the second Sunday of every May as ‘Mother’s Day’ in 1914. Since then, Mother’s Day has been adopted by various countries around the world.
