Mother's Day originated in America. The founder of this festival is anna jarvis, a Philadelphia native. This woman has never been married and has no children. 1906 On May 9th, anna jarvis's mother passed away, and she was very sad. The following year, on the anniversary of his mother's death, Jarvis organized activities to commemorate his mother and encouraged others to express their gratitude to their beloved mother in a similar way.

Jarvis wrote to Andrews Methodist Church in grafton, West Virginia, asking for a special memorial service for her mother. Her mother served the Sunday school of this church for more than 20 years before her death. 1908, the church declared the anniversary of Jarvis' mother's death-the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day. Jarvis also organized a Mother's Day Committee and began a large-scale publicity, calling for Mother's Day as a legal holiday.
