The First Mother's Day
May 9, 1914
Do you know the official flower of Mother's Day? Carnations have come to represent the day--pink for mothers living, white for those passed away. This is because they were distributed at one of the first commemorations honoring Anna Jarvis's mother.
Mother's Day is now celebrated with gifts, visits, and flowers. Around the world in England, France, Sweden, Denmark, India, China, and Mexico, they celebrate moms for two days. Of course, if you ask your mom, she might tell you that every day is Mother's Day.
