Mother's Day

 

Mother's Day is this weekend on Sunday, May 13. In 1907 Anna Jarvis asked her church to have a special service to remember all mothers. Two years later, Anna and some friends of hers started a letter writing campaign to get Congress to create a Mother's Day observance. In 1914 Congress designated the second Monday in May as Mother's Day and we have been observing it ever since.
