Mothers Day Observance Sparked by Local Efforts
Local church and social groups promoted a day to honor mothers with prominent individuals and organizations joining in. After multiple states recognized the idea, the national Congress adopted a May 10 1913 resolution making the second Sunday in May a national holiday dedicated to mothers. The observance spread nationwide with England also setting aside a mothers day and a white carnation badge signaling the day.
