Mother's Day
Hi neighbours,
It's Mother's Day on Sunday.
The event was founded by Philadelphia resident Anna Jarvis whose mother had organised women's groups to promote friendship and help.
On May 12, 1907, Jarvis held a memorial service at her late mother's church in Grafton, West Virginia and five years later, nearly every state was observing the day.
Jarvis started Mother's Day to honour the sacrifices women made for their children after her own mum died in 1905.
In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a measure recognising the second Sunday in May as the official day.
How are you planning to spend the day?
Have you been separated from your mother by Covid-19 travel restrictions? If so, how will you commemorate her?
