Let’s look at the history of this special day. Mother’s Day was created by Anna Jarvis in 1908, History.com noted, but the holiday wasn’t an official U.S. holiday until 1914. Jarvis was actually so annoyed by the commercialization of the holiday that she later tried to have it removed from the calendar.

Christianity once celebrated “Mothering Sunday,” which was an earlier version of the holiday seen in Europe. It was celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent, History.com reported, and was a time for the faithful to return to their mother church. It eventually became more secular as children gave gifts and flowers to their moms. In the end, it faded away, merging with the U.S. holiday.

But it was Anna Jarvis, daughter of Ann Reeves Jarvis, who played a big role in making the holiday an official U.S. custom. Her mother started Mother’s Day Work Clubs to help teach women childcare tips, History.com reported. She then started Mothers’ Friendship day in 1868. Her daughter, Anna, organized the first official Mother’s Day at a church in West Virginia. It was a big success and Anna sought to have it added to the national calendar, saying that American holidays were focused on men, not women. Interestingly, Anna herself never had children. She succeeded in her goal for the holiday, but later regretted how commercialized it became.
