History of Mother’s Day
There are a lot of different people who have been credited with the idea for establishing a “Mother’s Day,” but it was President Woodrow Wilson who actually made it official in 1914. He said the holiday would give people a chance to publicly express their love and reverence for the mothers of our country. While the actual calendar date the holiday falls on changes from year to year, this continues to be what Mother’s Day is all about.
