A beautifully produced Mother’s Day video explores the history and beginnings of this exclusive day. The striking four-minute video below features caring mothers from around the world talking about the importance of Mother’s Day and its beginnings.
To discover the beginnings of Mother’s Day, we travel back over 100 years in time to 1908, where we connect with Anna Jarvis, a woman who oddly enough never married or had children. In a very special way, Mother’s Day was her child.
Ms. Jarvis established Mother’s Day to commemorate her own mother, a caring, dedicated activist, and world-class mother. As expressed in an MSNBC article on the 100th anniversary of Mother’s Day, “by all accounts, Jarvis’ mother Ann was a community activist who worked to heal the divisions in north-central West Virginia following the Civil War, and to promote improved sanitation by creating Mothers Friendship Clubs.”
