Mother's Day Funology

Mother's Day Funology

May 12, 2002

Mother's Day was established in 1907. Anna M. Jarvis of West Virginia requested that her church honor all mothers on the 2nd anniversary of her own mother's death. It was in 1914 that the United States Congress established the 2nd Sunday in May as National Mother's Day. Cards, flowers, breakfast in bed and gifts are traditional ways we express our love and gratitude for our mothers.
