Don’t forget Mom
Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 11. I found some fun Mother’s Day “facts” on wikipedia.org, including some of the holidays ancestors: • “Mothering Sunday” in the UK and Ireland is on the fourth Sunday of Lent. It was originally a time when Catholics were supposed to travel to attend Mass in their “Mother Church” (the regional cathedral) rather than in their local parish. By the Reformation, it had changed into an occasion for children to visit parents. • “Mother’s Day Work Clubs” organized by Anna Jarvis’s mother, Ann Maria Reeves Jarvis to improve sanitation and health in the area. • The “Mother’s Day” anti-war observances founded by Julia Ward Howe in 1872. What we now know as Mother’s Day orginated from the efforts of Anna Jarvis, who wanted to honor her mother, Ann, who was active in Mother’s Day campaigns for peace and worker’s safety and health since the end of American Civil War.
