Mother’s Day is a celebration honouring the Mother of every family, along with the motherhood, maternal bonds and the influence of mothers in our society. It is celebrated all over the world on various dates, mostly in the months of March or May.
First celebrated in 1907, when Anna Maria Jarvis held the first Mother’s Day service of worship at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton at West Virginia. Andrew’s Methodist Church holds the International Mother’s Day Shrine. Her campaign to make Mother’s Day a recognized holiday in the United States began in 1905, the year her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, died. Ann Jarvis had been a peace activist and created Mother’s Day Work Clubs to address public health issues. Along with her another peace activist and suffragette Julia Ward Howe urged for the creation of a Mother’s Day dedicated to peace. 40 years before it became an official holiday, Ward Howe had made her Mother’s Day Proclamation in 1870, which called upon mothers of all nationalities to band together to promote the “amicable settlement of international questions, the great and general interests of peace. Anna Jarvis wanted to honor this and to set aside a day to honor all mothers because she believed a mother is “the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world”.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the women in the world who takes every initiative to tolerate the pain for giving birth to the next generation and nurturing them from their infancy to beautiful ladies and gentlemen who would look after the world and make it a better place. The bond of a mother and child is so that of the Earth and the Nature, protecting us, sacrificing things, bearing all the pains just to keep us safe.
Mother is often the first person who inspires and guides you on your way into womanhood. Make sure to let her know how wonderful she is at dealing with boy trouble, being a safe place when things go wrong and putting up with the teenage tantrums
