Mother's Day: How It Started And Why Its Founder Ended Up Regretting It

Mother's Day: How It Started And Why Its Founder Ended Up Regretting It

As we celebrate Mother's Day today, here's the story of Anna Jarvis, the woman who invented Mother's Day, but later regretted starting it.

Every year on the second Sunday in May, Mother's Day is celebrated globally to honour our mothers. This year, Mother's Day is being observed tomorrow, May 12. It is a special day for all mothers, whose contributions are often overlooked. It's a day to acknowledge the unquantifiable and selfless contributions of every mother in her children's success. It is also a day to thank her for that. On this day, children, partners and other family members show their love and gratitude to their mother by giving them gifts, cards and other nice things. Now, as we celebrate Mother's Day, here's how the day started, why it is celebrated on the second Sunday of May and why its founder ended up regretting it. 

Mother's Day was an eternal tribute to Anna Jarvis' mother after her death in 1905. According to the BBC, on the second death anniversary of her mother, Anna Jarvis bought 500 white carnations for a memorial service she organised in her West Virginia hometown. She campaigned to make Mother's Day a recognised holiday in the US after her mother Ann Reeves Jarvis, a peace activist, died in 1905. Ann Jarvis cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the American Civil War and created Mother's Day Work Clubs to address people's health issues.
