Mother's Day History 
 
Mother's Day is a celebration that 
honors motherhood and maternal bonds. It 
originated in the United States in the early 20th 
century, when Anna Jarvis, an American 
activist, campaigned for a day to honor 
mothers in memory of her own mother, who 
had passed away. The first official Mother's 
Day was celebrated on May 10, 1908, in West 
Virginia. 
The idea quickly spread throughout the 
United States, and in 1914, President 
Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation 
designating Mother's Day as a national 
holiday, to be held on the second Sunday in 
May. 
The tradition of celebrating Mother's 
Day has since spread to many other countries 
around the world, with different dates and 
customs. The first country to adopt the holiday 
after the United States was Mexico, in 1922. 
In Brazil, Mother's Day is celebrated on 
the second Sunday in May, just like in the 
United States. The holiday is a major event in 
Brazil, with many people giving gifts, flowers, 
and cards to their mothers and expressing 
their gratitude for all that they do. It is also a 
popular day for family gatherings and special 
meals.
