10 Facts about Mother’s Day

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.

By 1911 all U.S. states recognized the holiday and in 1914 Woodrow Wilson signed the proclamation making it a national holiday on the second Sunday in May.
A version of Mother’s Day is celebrated around the world and throughout the year.

Currently it is celebrated in up to 50 countries
United Kingdom: Mothering Sunday
Armenia: Maternity and Beauty Day

In most countries and languages the word for mother begins with the letter “m”
