A modern Mother's Day is celebrated on different days in many parts of the world, but most of March, April or May, as the day to honor mothers and motherhood. Celebration of mothers and motherhood occurs around the world, many of these can be traced back to ancient festivals such as the Greek cult of Cybele, and the Roman festival Hilaria. The modern American celebration is not directly linked to this
One of the early calls to celebrate Mother's Day in the United States was the "Mother's Day Proclamation" Julia Ward Howe. Written in 1870, it was a pacifist reaction to the carnage of the American Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War. The Proclamation was tied to Howe's feminist belief that women are responsible to shape societies at the political level.
In the years after the Mother's Day Proclamation, Ann Jarvis founded Mother's Day Work Clubs to improve five health and sanitary conditions. In 1907, two years after the death of Ann Jarvis, the daughter of Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother and began a campaign to "Mother's Day a recognized holiday in the U.S.. Although it was successful in 1914, he had been disappointed by the commericalization the 1920th
In 1912, Anna Jarvis, a trademarked terms such as "the second Sunday in May" and "Mother's Day, Mother's Day and the creation of an international alliance. "He had a special place in the quote, was that weird possessive, all the honor of their mother's family, not a plural possessive commemorating all mothers in the world."

This is the spelling used by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson of the law of the official holiday in the U.S., the U.S. Congress on bills and other U.S. president in their declarations. The frequent use of the English language requires that the possessive seems strange "Mother's Day" is the preferred spelling, although "Mother's Day" (possessive plural) are not unknown.
