Where does Mothering Sunday come from?

As you already know, Mother’s Day is a worldwide event that celebrates mothers, and the dates differ depending on your location. In the UK and Ireland, Mothering Sunday is Sunday 27th March 2022; Australia, Canada, New Zealand and USA on Sunday 8th May 2022; France on Sunday 29th May 2022; and Spain Sunday 1st May 2022.

But did you know that Mother’s Day as we know it today, came from America and was founded by Anna Jarvis in 1908, 114 years ago?

This day all stemmed from Anna Jarvis, who created Mother’s Day to honour the passing of her mother and commemorate all sacrifices mothers make when they bring their children into the world. To celebrate the day, Anna Jarvis obtained financial backing from a shop owner, John Wanamaker, which helped her to plan the very first official Mother’s Day event and was held at a Methodist church in Grafton, West Virginia. Whilst this event took place, thousands of members of the public attended Wanamaker’s shop to honour Mother’s Day too.

After Mother’s Day was such a big success, Anna Jarvis campaigned for Mother’s Day to become a recognised day to be added to the national calendar. It eventually became an official holiday in 1914.
