\"Beautiful<\/a>Mother’s Day<\/h1>\n

The first celebrations of Mother’s Day can be traced back to the ancient Greeks, who worshiped mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele. During the 1600s in England a special day was set apart as Mothering Day, a day of taking small cakes and trinkets to mothers.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the United States the idea for Mother’s Day has generally been credited to Anna Jarvis. The first Mother’s Day observance was a church service held at her request in Grafton, West Virginia (the burial place of her mother) on May 10, 1908. Because of her mother’s fondness for them, Miss Jarvis wore a carnation to that first service. She went on to play an active role in encouraging the government to establish a national holiday to honor mothers everywhere. By 1911 Mother’s Day was being celebrated throughout the United States, as well as in Mexico, Canada, South America, China, Japan and Africa. On May 9, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the second Sunday in May as National Mother’s Day and asked all Americans to offer their respect and love for mothers publicly.<\/span><\/p>\n
