Every occasion has its significance, and even Mother’s Day has a story behind it. Founded by Anna Jarvis, Mother’s Day came to be observed as an official holiday in the U.S.A. in 1914. The legend says that Ms. Anna Jarvis made a memorial for her mother at St. Andrew's Methodist Church in West Virginia, which is now regarded as International Mother's Day Shrine. According to Jarvis, your mother is the only person who has done more for you than the whole world put together, and so there must be one day celebrated in her honor. Thus was started a Mother's Day Work Club where members got together to address public health issues. In India, International Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in the month of May.
