The modern holiday of Mothers Day was first celebrat-

ed in 1908 when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her moth-

er in America She then began a campaign to make Mothers

Day a recognized holiday in the United States Although she

was successful in 1914 she was already disappointed with its

commercialization by the 1920s Jarvis holiday was adopted

by other countries and it is now celebrated all over the

world In this tradition each person offers a gift card or re-

membrance toward their mothers grandmothers and or

maternal figure on mothers day

Various observances honouring mothers existed in America during the 1870s and the 1880s but these never had reso-nance beyond the local level[6] Jarvis never mentioned Julia Ward Howes attempts in the 1870s to establish a Mothers Day for Peace nor any connection to the Protestant school celebrations that included Childrens Day amongst others Neither did she mention the traditional festival of Mothering Sunday but always said that the crea-tion was hers alone[7] For more in-formation on previous attempts see the United States section in this ar-
