Why is Mother's Day Celebrated?

The most important question is why we celebrate Mother's Day! To answer this question, we need a time machine to take us back to the year 1864 (just kidding). However, we do have to go back in time to study Anna Jarvis- the mastermind of Mother’s Day.
Anna Jarvis was born in 1864 and grew to become an activist. She is known as the inventor of Mother’s Day because of her efforts to honour her mother- Ann Jarvis. Ann spent most of her life building awareness about the low infant mortality rate. She aimed to increase the rate and educate mothers on preventive steps.
After the passing of Ann in 1905, Anna wanted to honour her efforts nobly, that’s when National Mother’s Day came into being. In 1908 on May 10, she hosted the first Mother’s Day function in Grafton, West Virginia (her hometown).
Soon, the President of the United States- Woodrow Wilson, caught wind of Ann’s societal contribution and Anna’s efforts to celebrate Mother’s Day. In 1914, they decided to make it a national holiday to be held on the second Sunday of May.
However, the idea of Mother's Day celebrations has changed over the years, with gifting and pampering sessions. What started as an honour to Ann Jarvis has now become a day to honour all mothers across the world. Anna was most disappointed by the commercialisation of the holiday, but we can’t help rejoicing at the fact that our mothers get an internationally acclaimed day to themselves.
