10 Facts about Mother’s Day

The Carnation was the original Mother’s Day flower. Pink & red for mom’s that are alive and white for those that have passed away.
Anna Jarvis of West Virginia organized the first Mother’s Day celebration in 1908 in memory of her own mother.

Jarvis never married and was childless.
After spending years to have the day made a holiday, she later spent the rest of her life fighting to have it removed from the U.S. official calendar because of the commercialization of the day.

A version of Mother’s Day is celebrated around the world and throughout the year.
