Mother’s Day was championed by an American Social activist, Anna Jarvis. She organised several campaigns to establish a national holiday to honour mothers after her mother’s death in 1905. Jarvis planned to set a day aside for individuals to express their love and gratitude to their mothers.
Afterwards, Woodrow Wilson, 28th U.S President signed a proclamation declaring the second Sunday of every May as ‘Mother’s Day’ in 1914. Since then, Mother’s Day has been adopted by many countries around the world.
