Suggested by Julia Ward Howe (writer of The Battle Hymn of the Republic) as a day dedicated to peace, Mother's Day meetings were held in Boston, Massachusetts by Ms. Howe beginning in 1872.  In 1907, Ana Jarvis began campaigning in West Virginia and later in Philadelphia to establish a national Mother's Day, to honor the anniversary of her mother's death (the second Sunday in May). The US Congress approved a joint resolution on May 8, 1914 designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day (see 38 Stat. 770), and President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed it as an official national holiday.

Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Italy and Turkey share the date with the United States, whereas Mother's Day is celebrated on different days now throughout the world.
