There are various rumors about when Mother’s Day, which is celebrated on the second Sunday of May every year, was celebrated for the first time. Rhea, who is considered the mother of many gods according to Greek mythology, is honored with various celebrations. These celebrations take place in the spring season.
Mother’s Day as we know it today was introduced in the United States in 1907 by a committed Christian: Anna Marie Jarvis. It was actually a memorial day for her deceased mother. Jarvis’ mother was known beyond the region for organizing charity events during the Civil War and caring for the war-wounded along with other mothers. In 1907, Anna Jarvis held a memorial service for her mother in her hometown of West Virginia. The following year there was an event for all mothers. And in 1909 this Mother’s Day was already celebrated throughout the country.
The Mother’s Day celebration spread from America to the whole world. Today, this special day that we show our gratitude to Mothers all over the world is celebrated with enthusiasm.
