Mother’s Day is a day set aside to honor mothers. It is observed in the U.S. on the second Sunday in May. The idea for the day is generally thought to be put forward by Anna M. Jarves, whose mother died on May 9, 1905. In the years that followed she held services and encouraged other sons and daughters to remember their mothers in a similar way. She wrote thousands of letters to great persons, and in 1913 both her home state of Pennsylvania and the U.S. Congress agreed to the idea of a special day to honor mothers.
