2013-5-13 MOTHER’S DAY In 1907 Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother‘s Day. Ms. Jarvis persuaded her mother’s church in Grafton, West Virginia to celebrate Mother‘s Day on the second anniversary of her mother’s death, the 2nd Sunday of May. By the next year Mother‘s Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia. Ms. Jarvis and her supporters began to write to ministers, businessman, and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mothers Day. It was successful, by 1911 Mothers Day was celebrated in almost every state. President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mothers Day a national holiday that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May.
