History of Mother’s Day
While Mother’s Day may look like a gift and a modern celebration filled with cards, its origin is behind decades. After the death of her mother in 1905, the idea of Mother’s Day was brought into life by Anna Jarvis. Anna wanted to make one day, where people could respect their mothers and express their gratitude. His mother, N Reeves Jarvis made tireless efforts during the US Civil War to improve health status for mothers and soldiers. Anna’s vision was for a day dedicated to mothers everywhere.
His efforts ended in 1914 when President Woodro Wilson officially declared the second Sunday as Mother’s Day in May.

Mothers work tirelessly, often take care of their families, raise children, and put the needs of others in front of them. Mother’s Day reminds us to stop, express our thanks and make them feel special – even if just one day.

Honoring mothers
Mother’s Day founder Anna Jarvis had a clear vision: people should honor their mothers in a personal and honest manner. He believed that the day should be about expressing love and respect through meaningful gestures, not only to buy commercial gifts or to indulge in expensive food.
The irony is that after Mother’s Day became widely popular, companies began to capitalize on the occasion. Greeting cards, flowers, and gift brands did a holiday business, which bothers Anna, who spent most of his later life in an attempt to reverse commercialization of the day. Thankfully, today, Mother’s Day creates a balance between heartfelt feelings and gifts, understands people that the idea behind the gesture matters more than the value tag. An ideal example of this mixture is enjoying food together while sharing meaningful conversations, or spending some personal and quality time together.
