However, Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia is credited with creating Mother’s Day in 1905. Anna Jarvis campaigned for Mother’s Day as a tribute to her mother, who had tried to establish Mother's Friendship Day to help heal the scars of the Civil War in America. In 1910, West Virginia became the first state to adopt a formal holiday to recognize mothers. A year later, nearly every state officially marked the day of celebration. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Mother's Day as a national holiday, to be held on the second Sunday of May. Today, Mother’s Day is celebrated in many countries throughout the world, although the celebrations do not fall on the same day in every country.
