Mother’s Day is the 2nd Sunday of May every year in the United States. It was first celebrated as Mother’s Day at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia in 1907 with a service led by Anna Jarvis. Anna Jarvis is quoted as saying a mother is “the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world.” In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation designating Mother’s Day as a national holiday honoring mothers on the second Sunday in May. A version of Mother’s day is celebrated in many countries throughout the world with almost 100 celebrating on the 2nd Sunday of May.
