TRIVIA: Mother's Day was first initiated by Anna Jarvis to honor her mother, Anna Jarvis who was a peace activist and creator of Mother’s Day Work Clubs which addressed public health issues during her time. A simple memorial was held in 1908 in West Virginia and the rest was history. With Anna Jarvis' efforts and campaign, in 1914, US President Woodrow Wilson signed the proclamation creating Mother’s Day, the second Sunday in May, as a national holiday to honor mothers.
Anna Jarvis trademarked the phrase Mother's Day and founded the Mother's Day International Association.
