Mother's Day, Mother's Day celebrated in countries all over the world. In its modern form, the day has its origin in the United States, where it is observed the second Sunday of May. Many other countries also celebrate the holiday on this date, while others mark this celebration at other times of the year. During the Middle Ages, the custom developed to allow those who left to visit their parishes and their mothers on Sunday of Laetare, the fourth Sunday of Lent. It became Mother's Sunday in Britain, where it continued until modern times, although it was largely replaced by Mother's Day. checkouthttps://happymothersdayimagespics.com/

Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, whose mother had organized women's groups to promote friendship and health, launched Mother's Day; On May 12, 1907, she held a memorial ceremony at her late mother's church in Grafton, West Virginia. Five years later, virtually all states were observing that day, and in 1914 President Woodrow Wilson made it a holiday. Although Jarvis encouraged the wearing of a white carnation in honor of his mother, the custom is to wear a red or pink carnation depicting a living mother or white carnation for a deceased mother. Over time, the day spread to others, such as grandmothers and aunts, who played maternal roles. However, what had originally been a day of honor was associated with sending cards and giving gifts. To protest against its commercialization, Jarvis spent the last years of her life trying to suppress the vacation she had organized.  Check Happy Mother's Day HD Images 2019
