Mother’s Day was first founded in 1908 in the United States by Anna Jarvis to honour her late mother, who was a peace activist. She soon began campaigning to mark a dedicated day to recognise all mothers. Reportedly, she organised the first formal Mother’s Day celebration in Grafton, West Virginia, in May 1908, three years after her mother died.

As her work gradually captured the attention of more citizens and supporters, there was a growing demand in the US for the day to be declared a national holiday. In 1914, US President Woodrow Wilson officially proclaimed the second Sunday of May as Mother’s Day.
