Mother’s Day History

The Birth of Mother’s Day

The modern Mothers Day in America was invented by Ms Anna Jarvis. Anna wanted a personal way to honor moms within the family circle. She wanted the special day to celebrate mothers in their inner circle. It spread fast across the United States due to its immediate popularity. Companies jumped on board quickly for mother’s day gifts. Anna also trademarked the terms “Mother’s Day” and “Second Sunday of May” back then, which was incredible foresight. A bill signed by President Woodrow Wilson specifically had “Mother’s Day” with the apostrophe before the s.

Due to mass commercialization Anna Jarvis ironically opposed Mothers Day 9 years after its inception. This did not stop Mother’s Day’s popularity and the history of Mother’s Day has become the stuff of legends. The 2nd Sunday of May is the offical Mothers Day in 80 nations around the world.

Mothers Day in Ancient Times

Although the modern Mother’s Day started in a quiet small state in the United States, the tradition of a day for mothers dates back to ancient Greece and China as early as 700 BC. Throughout Southern Europe mothers are traditionally celebrated at the Spring Equinox. The Tang Dynasty at the height of the Chinese empire had a special holiday dedicated to mothers.

The spring equinox was taken on by the Romans as their mothers day which became known more famously as the Ides of March. However, the Roman version lasted from March 15 to March 18. The ancient Romans also had a holiday called Matronalia which was customary to give a gift to your mother.

China’s Mothers Day was the most widely adopted in Asia due to its cultural influence. A particular Sunday was designated “Mothering Sunday” in many Western European countries.

Mother’s Day Today

Mothers Day is today celebrated on different dates and in many different ways around the world. Common Mothers Day gift ideas are flowers, chocolates, jewelry, designer bags and chocolates all complemented with a card. Mothers necklaces has grown quickly in popularity.

The Second Sunday of May has been adopted as Mother’s Day by over 550 million people in countries spanning both hemispheres. The next most popular date remains the Spring Equinox or known as Vernal Equinox explained above.
