Mother’s Day is celebrated annually on the second Saturday in May. This year on May 13, 2023, the world will again unite to honor Mothers’ vast contributions. Mothers play a crucial role in society, from their unwavering love to unconditional support, and this occurrence celebrates this.
History
We can see references to motherhood in many cultures and traditions from ancient times. However, today society views motherhood not only in terms of fertility, abundance, and the continuation of the family line, but also as a means of protecting society beyond the stigmatized domestic sphere.
The celebration of a day dedicated to mothers traces back to ancient Greece and the Romans. Where devotees worshipped mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele, also revered as the goddesses of motherhood and fertility. However, the celebration we know today originated from a Christian festival known as “Mothering Sunday.”
Ann Reeves Jarvis and Julia Ward Howe, social activists, pioneered the establishment of the day dedicated to mothers in the 19th century. Ann Reeves is known for creating “Mothers’ Day Work Clubs” that taught new moms how to take care of their children, while Julia Ward Howe is known for her campaign to establish “Mother’s Peace Day” on June 2.
But Mother’s Day, which we celebrate today on the second Sunday of May is thanks to Anna Jarvis, daughter of Ann Reeves Jarvis. She created this day to honor mothers’ sacrifices in society. At last, this occurrence took official commemoration in 1914 when President Woodrow Wilson signed a measure officially establishing the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day. Later on, this became a global celebration due to globalization.
