Mother's Day: originated from Ancient Greek and Romans and occurred throughout the world over thousands of years. It's celebrated on various day in many part of the world, mostly in March or May, and some in various months of year.
At first, people observed Mother's Day by attending church, writing letters or cards, presents, and flowers to their mothers. With the increasing gift-giving activity associated with Mother's Day, Anna Jarvis became enraged. She believed that the day's sentiment was being sacrificed at the expense of greed and profit. In 1923 she filed a lawsuit to stop a Mother's Day festival, and was even arrested for disturbing the peace at a convention selling carnations for a war mother's group. Before her death in 1948, Jarvis is said to have confessed that she regretted ever starting the mother's day tradition.
