History of Mother’s Day
Behind the Mother’s Day celebration, there is a history of American Civil Wars in the 19th century when USA Women’s Peace Group is trying their best to establish peace in the war-ragged America. At that time, they do some activities with the mothers whose sons have fought or died in the war.
Several years later, in the year 1877, the children of Juliet Calhoun Blakeley paid tribute to their mother for her act and urged others to pay respect to their Mothers as well. In the early 1880, the second Sunday was allotted for the Mother’s Day that was celebrated now.
