Happy Mother’s Day 2022: The modern-day concept of commemorating Mother’s Day was born in 1907. The origins of Mother’s Day can be traced back to two remarkable women, Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis, who are credited with establishing the concept of Mother’s Day in the United States. Anna Jarvis, who was deeply inspired by her own mother, led the first Mother’s Day service of worship at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia. Within five years, nearly every state had observed the day, and it was declared a national holiday by President Woodrow Wilson of the United States in 1914.
Mother’s Day in 2022 will be observed on the second Sunday in May, which will be March 8, 2022. Despite the fact that Mother’s Day is a widely observed national holiday in the United States, it is neither a federal nor a public holiday.
Even though not every country celebrates Mother’s Day on the same day, the second Sunday in May is a special day in more than 50 countries.
