The origin of mother's Day

Mother's Day was initiated by Anna Jarvis (1864-1948). She was never married and was always with her mother. Anna Jarvis's mother was kind-hearted and compassionate. She proposed that a memorial day should be set up to commemorate the mothers who made their contributions. But before this wish was realized, she died. Her daughter Anna Jarvis started the event in 1907, applying to make mother's day a legal holiday. The festival officially began in West Virginia and Pennsylvania on May 10, 1908. In 1913, the United States Congress established the second Sunday of may as the statutory mother's day, and stipulated that every family should fly the national flag to show respect for their mother. Anna Jarvis's mother's favorite carnation has become a symbol of mother's day in the United States.

In 1876, the United States was still mourning the death of the civil war. Mrs. Anna Jarvis, who taught the course of memorial day on Mother's day, said: "I hope that somewhere, sometime, someone will create a mother's day to commemorate and praise the mothers of the United States and the world. '

Mrs. Chavez has served in her chapel for more than 25 years. When she died at the age of 72, her 41 year old daughter Anna was determined to create a mother's day to fulfill her mother's wish many years ago. Anna wrote to many famous people, asking them to support the establishment of mother's day to promote filial piety. At the beginning, she was cold, but she was not discouraged and continued to appeal to all walks of life. On May 12, 1907, Andriy Wesley church held a service for mothers at Anna's invitation. The next year, the ceremony was held in Philadelphia. The response was warm and the support of the governor of Victoria was finally obtained. In 1910, mother's Day was announced in the state. In 1911, the celebration of mother's day has been very extensive, not only sweeping every state of the United States of America, but also some countries in Canada, Mexico and South America have begun to celebrate the festival. The people of the United States of America have also printed mother's Day flyers in ten different languages to all countries in order to expand their influence. Over the next few years, there has been an increase in the popularity of mother's Day celebrations. In 1912, the United States of America established the International Association for mother's day.

In May 1913, the house of representatives of the United States of America unanimously passed a resolution calling on the president and all officials of the cabinet, the house and the federal government to wear white carnations on Mother's day. In 1914, the Congress of the United States of America officially named the second Sunday of May Mother's day, and asked the president to issue a declaration calling on government officials to fly the national flag on all public buildings. Then President Wilson declared that all citizens of the country would also fly the national flag in their homes to show their love and respect for all mothers of the United States of America. Since then, the president of the United States of America has issued a declaration with the same content every year. Since then, mother's day has been held in various countries.

Father's Day

Father's Day was initiated by Mrs. John & Middleton; Bruce & Middleton; Dodd. Mrs. Dodd lost her mother in her early years. She had five younger brothers and six younger brothers. All the burden of life fell on her father. Every day, the father starts from morning to night and cares about the children's growth. He is both a father and a mother, and he lives a frugal life. Dodd felt his father's love and kindness and greatness. When she grew up, she felt that her father's spirit of self sacrifice should be praised, and that those who were fathers should also have a festival for the whole society to show their respect, just like their mothers. So she wrote a sincere letter to the Washington state government, suggesting that her father's birthday, June 5, should be taken as father's day every year. Moved by her true feelings, the state government adopted the proposal, only changing the date to the third Sunday in June each year. In 1972, under the strong appeal of all parties, President Nixon of the United States signed the resolution to establish Father's day, making it a national program. At present, this festival is recognized by the people of many countries in the East and West. On this day, the children always pay homage to their hard-working father.

Today's father's Day is celebrated in much the same way as mother's day, except perhaps that the father's favorite gift is not candy but cigars.
