The History of Mother’s Day
There are three origin stories for how Mother’s Day came to be. The first is in 1858, when Anne Jarvis started to petition for Mother Work Days. A day in which mothers would form together to help other mothers that were less fortunate than they were.
Another origin story hails from Boston, when poet, pacifist and women suffragist Julia Ward Howard wanted a day of peace established. In 1870, Howard wrote the “Mother’s Day Proclamation,” which she hoped would unite mothers to promote peace amidst the bloody Franco-Prussian War. Later she would try and get people to celebrate Mother’s Peace Day annually.
The origin story that resulted in the Mother’s Day that we are all familiar with actually still begins with Ann Jarvis. When Ann Jarvis passed away, her daughter, Anna Jarvis took up her mother’s call to create a day for moms. However, this time the day was to celebrate all that mothers do for their children. Anna remembers her own mother very clearly stating, “I hope and pray that someone, sometime, will found a memorial Mother’s Day commemorating her for the matchless service she renders to humanity in every field of life.”
After Anna wrote countless letters to men in power and marketed the idea of celebrating mothers to other prominent people. Woodrow Wilson signed into effect on May 9, 1914, the proclamation that the second Sunday of the month in May would be for public reverence and love for the mothers in our country.
