Mother’s Day in the United States falls on Sunday, May 10, offering a perfect chance to show your love and appreciation. A thoughtful WhatsApp message is a simple yet meaningful way to express it.

Why is Mother’s Day celebrated in the United States this Sunday, May 10?

It all dates back to 1908, when activist Anna Jarvis officially founded Mother’s Day in the United States as a symbol of peace after the Civil War, where she played a fundamental role caring for wounded soldiers. She held a memorial for her mother at St. Andrew’s Methodist Church in Grafton, Virginia.

Since then, many states celebrated it as a local holiday. Finally, Woodrow Wilson, the 28th American president, declared it a national holiday in 1914. In the United States, mothers often receive flowers, cards, chocolates, or other gifts from their children.
