Mother's Day!



The Mother's Day has its origin in the beginning of the twentieth century, when a young American, Annie Jarvis, lost her mother and entered into complete depression. Preocupadas with that suffering, some friends had the idea to perpetuate the memory of the mother of Annie with a party. Annie wanted to be extended to honor all mothers, living or dead. Soon, the celebration and consequently the Mother's Day is spread throughout the United States and in 1914, its date has been formalised by President Woodrow Wilson: day May 9. But the mother's day is celebrated on differents dates in various regions.
