Mother's Day - May 10
Mother's Day - May 10

The first Mother's Day in the United States was founded by Anna Jarvis and celebrated on May 10, 1908, in the city of Philadelphia. In 1914, Mother's Day was officially adopted as a national holiday. Today, it is celebrated on the second Sunday in May.

Jarvis wanted to create a holiday that honors the sacrifices that all mothers make for their children. She reportedly envisioned a day where people wore white carnations in honor of their own mothers and spent time with them at such family-centric activities like church services. To help spread her vision, Jarvis started "Mother's Day Work Clubs" where she organized education for local women about how to take better care of their children. Eventually, more commercial interests took hold of this holiday, which led it to evolve into one of the biggest days for consumer spending each year.

No matter how we choose to spend Mother's Day, the spirit of this holiday helps us to come together with family and create memories that last a lifetime.
