Although it wasn’t celebrated in the U. S. until 1907, there were days honoring mothers even in the days of ancient Greece.【T2】______
Later, in the 1600’s, in England there was an annual observance called "Mothering Sunday".【T3】______On Mothering Sunday, the servants, who generally lived with their employers, were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers. It was traditional for them to bring a special cake along to celebrate the occasion.
Mother’s Day was first suggested in the United States in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe as a day dedicated to peace. In 1907 Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother’s Day. Jarvis persuaded her mother’s church in Grafton, West Virginia to celebrate Mother’ s Day on the second anniversary of her mother’ s death, the 2nd Sunday of May. The next year Mother’s Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia.
Jarvis and others began a letter-writing campaign to ministers, businessmen, and politicians in their quest to establish a national Mother’s Day. 【T4】______President Woodrow Wilson, in 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother’ s Day a national observance that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May.
