第一個母親節 (Mother's
Day) ：1914年5月9日
母親節的設立對於賓州的安娜‧賈維斯 (Ana Jarvis) 來說特別有意義。六年之前，她開始倡議增定一個「母親節」的國定假日。她自己的母親才剛剛去世不久，賈維斯想要以這個節日來紀念自己的母親以及所有的母親。她說服當地的教堂在她母親去世週年時慶祝母親節。這也就是伍德羅‧威爾遜為什麼選擇這一天作為國定假日的原因。
The start of Mother's Day was especially meaningful for Ana Jarvis of Philadelphia. Six years earlier, she began a campaign to establish a national Mother's Day. Her own mother had recently died, and Jarvis wanted to remember her along with all mothers. She convinced her mother's church to celebrate Mother's Day on the anniversary of her mother's death, the second Sunday of May. As a result, Woodrow Wilson chose that date for the national holiday.
