第一个母亲节 (Mother’s
Day) ：1914年5月9日
母亲节的设立对于宾州的安娜．贾维斯 (Ana Jarvis) 来说特别有意义。六年之前，她开始倡议增定一个「母亲节」的国定假日。她自己的母亲才刚刚去世不久，贾维斯想要以这个节日来纪念自己的母亲以及所有的母亲。她说服当地的教堂在她母亲去世周年时庆祝母亲节。这也就是伍德罗．威尔逊为什么选择这一天作为国定假日的原因。
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.
