Jarvis (1864-1948) played a very significant role in getting the day officially declared as a holiday. She held the first Mother's Day in the U.S. was a church service held on May 10, 1908 at Anna's request to honor her mother.

Mother's Day was officially declared as the second Sunday in May by Congress - May 8, 1914 Almost all countries have some sort of Mother's Day Celebrations. Many countries celebrate on the same day as the United States. Mother's Day can be traced to ancient times. Spring festivals included tributes to Goddesses.
