Just one day?<\/h2>\n

One day in the year is too small an amount of time to celebrate the extraordinary and magical bond that connects forever, a mother and a child. While motherhood, the mother-child connection, and the role of the mother must be appreciated and celebrated every single day of the calendar year, it is nice and effective to have one symbolic day to commemorate the contribution of all the world\u2019s wonderful mothers to the world we live in and life itself.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How it all began \u2026<\/h2>\n

Looking back at the beginnings we see that Mother\u2019s Day was first celebrated in the United States in early 20th<\/sup> century. It all started when a woman called Anna Jarvis first held a memorial for her mother in West Virginia. Anna\u2019s mother had been a peace activist and Anna wanted to continue her work and demarcate a day to remember and salute mothers. This notion met with some opposition initially but eventually saw success and today, Mother\u2019s Day is celebrated all over the world on the second Sunday in May. Since the beginning carnations have been the traditional flowers of choice as gifts for Mother\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n
