Mother"s Day was first suggested in the United States in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe as a day dedicated to peace. A campaign to establish a National Mother"s Day was begun in 1907.
It was successful, by 1911 Mother"s Day was celebrated in almost every state in recognition of the influence mothers have in the making of better citizens.
In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed that the birthday of Mrs. Anna Reeves Jarvis, the "mother of Mother"s Day", would become the National Mother"s Day of the United States.
And that from then on, the second Sunday in May would be Mother"s Day in memory of the work Mrs.
Jarvis had done to bring families together after the Civil war, her work to bring the whole North and South together, her work to honor all the mothers of America throughout history and on into the future, but most of all to honor Mrs.
Anna Reeves Jarvis as America"s National Mother. President Wilson asked that the American people fly the United States flag from public buildings and homes on that day as he said, as a public expression of our love and reverence for the mothers of our country.
母亲节由来中文：
母亲节由安娜·贾维斯(Anna Jarvis,1864-1948)发起，她终身未婚，一直陪伴在母亲身边。安娜·贾维斯的母亲心地善良，极富同情心，她提出应设立一个纪念日来纪念默默无闻做出奉献的母亲们，可是这个愿望尚未实现，她就逝世了。
她的女儿安娜·贾维斯于1907年开始举办活动，申请将母亲节成为一个法定节日。节日于1908年5月10日在美国的西弗吉尼亚和宾夕法尼亚州正式开始。
1913年，美国国会确定将每年5月的第二个星期日作为法定的母亲节，并规定这一天家家户户都要悬挂国旗，表达对母亲的尊敬。而安娜·贾维斯的母亲生前最爱的康乃馨也就成了美国母亲节的象征。
