Mother’s Day was initiated in the USA by one Anna Jarvis, a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers during the Civil War and held a memorial for her mother. She campaigned for a day to be dedicated to all mothers. In 1914, Mother’s Day was announced as an official holiday by then-President Woodrow Wilson made.
