The history of the celebration of mothers dates back to ancient Greece. At that time, spring ceremonies were held for Rhea in honor of the mother of the gods and with her mothers. Throughout history, there have been festivals where mothers were also greeted. In England in the 1600s, the holiday also received a Christian religious hue. At that time, the Feast of Mothers was held on the fourth Sunday after Easter, Mother’s Sunday. Servants working far away from their families were given a day off to go home and spend the day with their mother. Before the visit, the mothers' cake was made as a special gift for this day. Mother's Day was first celebrated in the United States in 1872 in Boston. In 1907, Anna M. Jarvis of Philadelphia tried to make Mother's Day a national holiday. The holiday was scheduled for the second Sunday in May in memory of his deceased mother. He devoted a lot of time and energy to making the celebration first national and then international. Jarvis achieved his goal in 1914 when U.S. President Woodrow Wilson declared the day an official holiday. The holiday was “embraced” by florists, greeting card makers, candy and gift dealers, who also began to promote the holiday in America in Europe, which quickly made it popular on the continent as well.
