On this special day, many people prepare gifts or celebrate activities for their mothers to express their gratitude. But for some, choosing a meaningful Mother's Day gift can be a challenging task. Therefore, this article will help more people understand Mother's Day and share five Mother's Day gifts that are suitable for moms!

Origin of Mother’s Day

Mother's Day originated in the United States and was initiated by Anna Jarvis, a Philadelphia woman who never married and had no children. On May 9, 1906, Anna Jarvis's mother passed away, and she was devastated. On the anniversary of her mother's death the following year, Jarvis organized a memorial event for mothers and encouraged others to express their gratitude to their own mothers in a similar way.

Jarvis wrote a letter to the Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia, where her mother had served in the Sunday School for over 20 years, requesting a special memorial service for her mother. In 1908, the church declared the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day in honor of Jarvis's mother. Jarvis also organized a Mother's Day Committee and began a massive campaign to have Mother's Day recognized as an official holiday.

Her appeal received a warm response from people. On May 10, 1913, the US Congress passed a resolution and President Wilson signed a proclamation, designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day each year. This move has been followed by many countries around the world, and by the time Jarvis passed away in 1948, Mother's Day had been established in 43 countries.
