The History Of Mother's Day
The concept of celebrating maternity is not completely unique to any one culture or time period. Motherhood parties occurred in ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece. These celebrations were held in honour of female goddesses and were of a spiritual nature. In Europe a celebration for mothers was held on the 4th sunday of Lent. This vacation commenced as a technique to recognize Mary, the ma of Christ, but later was broadened to include all mas. Although many cultures throughout the ages have held celebrations to honour parenthood generally, this convention didn't travel with the colonists to the new world.
Mother's Day in the U.S. has a separate and fascinating history. Julia Ward Howe, the writer of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, grieved for the carnage, destruction, death, and sourness that existed in America following the Civil War. Her heart went out to all the mummies who had lost children in this horrible war. She felt that mummies, more than any others, felt the ache of lost youngsters, lost hope and a lost future. In 1870, she delivered a proclamation which became known as the Mother's Day announcement. This proclamation called upon ma's everywhere to use their influence to put and end to the crisis and sourness by teaching charity, mercy and patience, and so bringing peace to the country. The text of this 1870 announcement can be found at many online sites.
Julia attempted to organize a day that was set aside for mum's to reach out to other mother's across the North and South bounds that had been established during the civil war. Her efforts had minimal success for one or two years, before fading away into American history. She might not have had success in establishing a permanent vacation, but her efforts did bring attention to the mother's cause.
Another woman, Anna Reeves Jarvis, who lived in the Appalachians of West Virginia spent much of her time bringing relief to the downtrodden. Once she mentioned that she wished there was a holiday set aside to honour mummy everywhere. After her dying, her daughter, young Anna Jarvis, decided to make her mummy's wish come true. In 1908, she worked to establish a day to honour her ma. She started by asking the church where her mum served for many years to hold a service particularly to honour mums. The church agreed, and the first Mother's Day meeting was held. Anna provided white carnations for each mummy attending. This custom of giving flowers to mas during Mother's Day church services carried down through the years, and some denominations still honour that custom today.
Anna Jarvis commenced devoting much of her time to the idea of a holiday to celebrate mothers. She petitioned state regimes and Sun. school boards. In 1912, West Virginia became the first state to recognize Mother's Day officially. 2 year later on Woodrow Wilson confirmed a petition declaring Mother's Day to be a national holiday, and setting the second Sun. in May as the once a year observance.
Ironically, once Anna Jarvis found success at establishing a nationwide holiday to honour mothers, she spent the rest of her life trying to stop it. She was considerably saddened by the commercialism of the vacation. She saw the giving of flowers and gifts as a step in the wrong direction. Despite her attempts to end the commercial hijacking of the vacation she galvanized, the day grew wings of it's own and spread across American culture.
Today, Mother's Day is celebrated around the globe. It is a day when motherhood is celebrated in churches and houses around the world. It is one of the most frantic days for the floral, greeting card and eaterie industries. Anna Jarvis may not be pleased by the way Mother's Day is celebrated today, but mummy's everywhere are given the honour they deserve.
