On this special occasion of Mother’s Day, Radio7 Media extends heartfelt wishes to all mothers. Celebrated on the second Sunday of May, this day honors the profound influence of mothers and the essence of motherhood. The roots of this holiday can be traced back to both personal and collective efforts aimed at recognizing the significant role that mothers play in our lives. The primary purpose of Mother’s Day is to express love, appreciation, and gratitude towards these remarkable women.
The inception of Mother’s Day is credited to Anna Jarvis, who sought to honor her own mother, a dedicated woman who worked tirelessly after the Civil War. Through her relentless advocacy, which included sending numerous letters to promote the idea, Anna Jarvis succeeded in bringing the holiday to the forefront of public consciousness. In 1914, her efforts culminated in President Woodrow Wilson officially declaring Mother’s Day as a national holiday.
Interestingly, Mother’s Day holds the distinction of being the busiest day of the year for phone calls, as many individuals take the time to connect with their mothers. Additionally, it ranks among the most hectic days for restaurants and flower shops, as families celebrate this occasion in various ways. So, as we commemorate this day, let us take a moment to honor our mothers and cherish the love they provide. Wishing everyone a joyous and meaningful Mother’s Day!
