Mother's Day in the United States is annually held on the second Sunday of May. It celebrates motherhood and it is a time to appreciate mothers and mother figures. Many people give gifts, cards, flowers, candy, a meal in a restaurant or other treats to their mother and mother figures.
The origins of Mother's Day are attributed to
different people. Many believe that two women, Julia Ward Howe and Anna Jarvis
were important in establishing the tradition of Mother's Day in the United
States. Other sources say that Juliet Calhoun Blakely initiated Mother’s Day in
Albion, Michigan, in the late 1800s. Her sons paid tribute to her each year and
urged others to honor their mothers.
Around 1870, Julia Ward Howe called for
Mother's Day to be celebrated each year to encourage pacifism and disarmament
amongst women. It continued to be held in Boston for about ten years under her
sponsorship, but died out after that.
A cupcake bouquet is very popular for this day. Here are some pictures that I found on the internet and thought they were really cute.
